Club Sandwich

Club Sandwich

It is speculated that the club sandwich, with its layers of chicken, tomatoes and bacon, was originally made at the Saratoga Club House in Saratoga Springs, New York, the same place that invented potato chips. The original version had only two pieces of bread. Now a days this is probably one of the most commonly ate food around the world. The inside layers changes in almost every country, yet the appeal remains same. I am posting here the version I love most...

Preparation Time :
Assembling Time :
Difficulty              : Very Easy
Serves                  :  4

Ingredients :

12 slices Bread, toasted 

12 tablespoons Mayonnaise (make fresh or use any good bottled version)

400 grams Chicken breast, cooked and thinly sliced

16 slices Tomato

16 Cooked bacon (fried on a nonstick skillet with 1/2 teaspoon of oil or cooking spray)

4 leaves Lettuce

Pepper to taste

 

Method :

1) Toast the breads only when all your ingredients are ready in four different bowls.

2) Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each of the slices of bread.

3) Spread the sliced chicken on one of the slices of bread. Top with another slice of bread. (pre boil the chicken breasts with 1/2 clove of garlic, crushed and a large pinch of salt added to 1 cup of water. Once done, take it out, drain, and slice)

4) Cut the tomatoes in perfect rounds. Lay the tomatoes over the second slice of bread.

5) Top with the bacon slices and the lettuce.

6) Place the last slice of bread on top of that.

7) About 1-inch in from each of the sides of the sandwich, insert a long toothpick. This will help to keep your filling in place.

8) Carefully slice the sandwich on the diagonal into 4 triangles and serve with a side of potato chips.
