Classic Chicken Club Sandwich: Quick & Delicious Recipe

Print Recipe

The Classic Chicken Club Sandwich is a culinary masterpiece of layers and textures that delivers flavor and satisfaction. This triple-decker delight is perfect for a hearty lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 ounces of cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 3 slices of white bread (or sourdough or light brioche)
  • 6–8 strips of crispy beef bacon
  • Fresh iceberg or romaine lettuce, cleaned and dried
  • 1 ripe tomato, sliced thinly
  • Good quality mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: If your chicken isn't already cooked, prepare it now. Grill a couple of chicken breasts until they're cooked through and have a nice char. Let them rest, then slice them thinly against the grain, or shred them if you prefer. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Beef Bacon: Lay your beef bacon strips on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until perfectly crispy. Alternatively, fry them in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels to remove excess fat.
  3. Prepare Veggies: Wash and thoroughly dry your lettuce leaves. Slice your ripe tomatoes into thin, even rounds.
  4. Toast the Bread: Pop your bread slices into the toaster. Remember, you’ll need three slices per sandwich. Aim for a medium toast – firm enough to hold up, but not rock hard.
  5. First Layer – The Base: Take one slice of toasted bread. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise evenly on one side of this toast. Arrange a few lettuce leaves on top of the mayo. Place a few tomato slices over the lettuce. Layer half of your prepared chicken slices or shredded chicken over the tomatoes.
  6. Second Layer – The Middle: Take your second slice of toasted bread. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of this toast. Carefully place this mayo-coated toast on top of your first layer, mayo-side down onto the chicken. Now, on top of this middle toast, arrange your crispy beef bacon strips. Add another layer of lettuce leaves and a few more tomato slices. Layer the remaining half of your chicken slices or shredded chicken here.
  7. Third Layer – The Top: Take your third and final slice of toasted bread. Spread mayonnaise on one side of this toast. Carefully place this toast, mayo-side down, on top of your second layer.
  8. Secure and Slice: Once assembled, use long skewers or toothpicks to secure the sandwich. Use four, one in each corner, to hold everything firmly in place. With a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the sandwich into quarters, creating those iconic triangles.
  9. Serve Immediately: Arrange your beautiful sandwich quarters on a plate. Serve with a side of potato chips or a small salad.
