Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich
Ingredients:
For the sandwich:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 slices of thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
6 slices hearty sandwich bread (like sourdough or country white)
4 leaves romaine or green leaf lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon butter, for grilling
Directions:
Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Grill over medium-high heat for 6 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked (internal temp 75°C / 165°F). Let rest, then slice.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. Grill or toast in a skillet until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove and set aside.
Spread mayo on the non-buttered side of each slice. Layer as follows:
Bottom layer: Bread, lettuce, tomato, grilled chicken, cheddar
Middle layer: Bread (mayo side up), bacon, lettuce, more tomato
Top layer: Another slice of grilled bread
Press the sandwich gently, cut into halves or quarters, and secure with sandwich picks if needed.
