Chicken Club Sandwiches (Printable)

Triple-layered stacks with seasoned chicken, crispy bacon, garden-fresh vegetables, and creamy spreads on buttery toasted bread.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 chicken breasts (about 10.5 oz), cooked and sliced
02 - ½ tsp salt
03 - ¼ tsp black pepper

→ Bacon

04 - 8 slices bacon

→ Vegetables

05 - 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
06 - 8 leaves romaine lettuce

→ Bread

07 - 12 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat), toasted

→ Condiments

08 - 4 tbsp mayonnaise
09 - 2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

→ Other

10 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for toasting, optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Season the cooked chicken breast slices evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
02 - Place bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
03 - Lightly butter bread slices if desired and toast in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and crisp.
04 - Lay out 3 slices of toasted bread for each sandwich. Spread mayonnaise (and Dijon mustard if using) on one side of each slice.
05 - On the first slice, arrange romaine lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and half of the seasoned sliced chicken.
06 - Place a second bread slice on top, mayonnaise side down. Layer additional lettuce, tomatoes, 2 slices of crispy bacon, and remaining chicken.
07 - Top with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to settle layers.
08 - Insert toothpicks through opposite corners of each sandwich to hold layers together during slicing.
09 - Using a sharp knife, slice each sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters. Repeat assembly process for remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately while bread remains crisp.
