1. Cook the bacon until crispy. This can be done in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side.
2. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, chives, and chicken.
3. Spread butter on both sides of each slice of bread.
4. Divide the cheese and chicken mixture evenly among 4 slices of bread. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
5. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches in batches, if necessary, for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
