JOIN THE CLUB: Fourth in the Series of Five Recipes from Lovely Roasted Chicken Breasts

Hungry? Try this recipe for homemade chicken club sandwiches.

I don’t buy deli meat for the most part.  It is loaded with sodium and other unmentionables.  PLUS, it is pricey.

My boys brown bag it every day.  They love a wholesome, homemade chicken sandwich.  These are easy to make and so, so, so much tastier than that wet, shimmery, rainbow-y looking deli-meat.

This is the fourth recipe idea in my “Five Recipes from Lovely Roasted Chicken Breasts.”

Enjoy!

Here Is What You’ll Need:

  • Chicken
  • Salt and Pep
  • Sourdough Bread (Option: Toasted)
  • Romaine Lettuce washed and patted dry
  • Thinly sliced tomato- If tomatoes are not in season, buy “Capri” Tomatoes.  They are about the size of a golf ball and taste deliciously in-season twelve months of the year
  • Bacon- See below for my suggested cooking method
  • Homemade Mayo-See Below for the recipe (Out of a jar is perfectly fine)

Here Is What To Do:

Toast the bread and shmear some mayo on it.  One one side, layer your lettuce, then tomato, then a tad of salt and pep then bacon then chicken then a bit more tomato and a tad more lettuce and more bacon, of course.  Top with the remaining bread, slice and serve up.

Baking Bacon

Line a half sheet pan with foil, lay the bacon strips (1 pound) side by side but not touching. Cook in a preheated oven (400) for 12-18 minutes- (watch it carefully, so it does not burn) Drain on paper towels. Save bacon fat in a mason jar in the fridge for later use.

Making Mayo:

Mayonnaise is easy to make and so much fresher and healthier than that you find in aisle 4.  Here is one of my favorite chefs, The Pioneer Woman, ‘s recipe.
