A delicious and hearty classic chicken club sandwich featuring tender grilled chicken breast, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and creamy mayonnaise layered between toasted bread slices.
4 slices white sandwich bread
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
4 slices cooked turkey bacon
4 leaves romaine lettuce
4 slices tomato
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 slices cheddar cheese
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until combined.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Place one slice of bread on a clean surface, mayo side up. Layer with one leaf of romaine lettuce, one grilled chicken breast (sliced if desired), two slices of tomato, and one slice of cheddar cheese.
Top with a second slice of bread, mayo side down. Spread mayonnaise on the top side of this bread slice.
Add two slices of turkey bacon and another leaf of romaine lettuce.
Place the final slice of bread on top, mayo side down.
Secure the sandwich with toothpicks in each corner and cut diagonally into quarters.
Serve immediately.
