Classic Club Sandwich (Printable)
A triple-layered sandwich loaded with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and creamy mayo.
# What You Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8 slices cooked bacon
02 - 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced, or 7 oz roasted turkey breast, sliced
→ Bread & Spreads
03 - 12 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread
04 - 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for toasting)
→ Vegetables
06 - 2 tomatoes, sliced
07 - 8 leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce
→ Seasonings
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
# How To Cook:
01 - Toast all 12 slices of bread until golden brown. Lightly butter each slice if desired for extra richness.
02 - Spread mayonnaise evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
03 - Place 4 bread slices mayonnaise-side up on a flat surface. Top each with lettuce leaves and several tomato slices. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
04 - Place a second slice of bread mayonnaise-side up on top of each first layer. Layer with sliced chicken or turkey, followed by strips of cooked bacon.
05 - Top each sandwich with another layer of fresh lettuce. Place the final slice of bread mayonnaise-side down to complete each triple-decker sandwich.
06 - Insert cocktail sticks through all four corners of each sandwich to hold the layers together. Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters to form triangles.
07 - Arrange the sandwich triangles on a platter and serve immediately alongside potato chips or pickles if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Triple layers mean triple the satisfaction, and every bite hits differently depending on which corner you start from.
- It comes together in under thirty minutes, which makes it the ultimate throw together meal when you want something filling without the fuss.
02 -
- Toothpicks are not optional here because without them the whole tower will slide apart the moment you try to cut or lift it.
- Patting the tomato slices with a paper towel before layering prevents the dreaded soggy bottom that sneaks up on you after five minutes.
03 -
- Cook extra bacon and chicken the night before so assembling these at lunchtime takes almost no effort at all.
- Season every individual layer as you build because a sandwich seasoned only on the outside always tastes flat in the middle.
