Lemon and basil join forces to elevate the flavor of this classic diner sandwich. Thinly sliced chicken, turkey bacon, crisp Romaine lettuce, and slices of fresh tomato round out this sandwich. Beefsteak tomatoes are a great choice for sandwiches, with their fresh flavor and large size. Sprinkle them with a little cracked black pepper, if you like. While we opted for lemon and basil in the flavored mayo, you can swap in rosemary, basil, or thyme or mix in paprika or cayenne pepper. Toast the bread and serve the sandwiches in quarters secured with toothpicks for a nod to a traditional diner lunch.
