• Bake the bacon in an oven preheated to 390°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.

  Spread the bread slices with butter.
  
• Place the slices on a hot pan, butter side down.
• Sprinkle grated cheddar over the entire surface of both slices of bread. Toast the slices until the cheddar melts (keep an eye on them as they cook; they should be golden).
  
• Spread one slice with guacamole and the other with shredded chicken. Place two slices of bacon in the sandwich.
  Close the grilled cheese, and it’s ready to enjoy!
