Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch wedges. Add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 22-24 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
Cut bacon strips in half, crosswise. On another parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bacon strips in a single layer.Roast bacon in bottom of oven, until crispy and cooked through, 12-14 min.** When bacon is crispy, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Meanwhile, halve tomatoes. Whisk together 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, half the vinegar (use all for 4 ppl) and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, then toss to combine. Set aside. Combine mayo, roasted red pepper pesto, cheddar cheese and cream cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1-inch intact on the other end. Open up chicken like a book. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook until golden-brown and cooked through, 5-7 min per side.**
Once bacon is cooked, cut buns in half. Toast buns directly on the bottom rack of oven, until golden-brown, 2-3 min. Add spring mix to the large bowl with tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Spread pimento cheese onto toasted bun halves. Stack chicken and bacon on bottom buns. Close with top buns. Divide burgers and sweet potatoes wedges between plates. Serve salad alongside.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The pimento cheese spread was a hit, adding delicious flavor to the sandwich. Some found the chicken needed more seasoning for better taste.
- Ease of prep: Easy to prepare overall, though a few had issues with bacon cooking times and temperatures.
- Suggestions: Consider melting cheese directly on the chicken instead of in the spread. Adjust bacon cooking time and temperature to prevent burning.
- Portions: Some noted small sweet potatoes, resulting in fewer wedges than expected.
