Total Time:15 minutes
Yield:1 sandwich
Ingredients
Bread and Condiments
3 slices white bread
2 tbsp mayonnaise
Fillings
2 lettuce leaves
2 slices deli chicken breast
2 slices American cheese
4 slices cooked bacon
1 tomato, sliced
Instructions
Toast Bread: Toast three slices of white bread until they become crispy and golden brown on both sides to provide a sturdy base for the sandwich.
Spread Mayonnaise: Evenly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice to add moisture and flavor.
Assemble Base Layer: Place one slice of bread on a plate mayo-side up. Layer on one lettuce leaf, followed by one slice of deli chicken breast, one slice of American cheese, and two slices of crispy cooked bacon.
Add Middle Bread Layer: Place the second slice of bread on top of the fillings, mayo-side down. Then spread a small amount of mayonnaise on the top side of this second slice to help the next toppings stick.
Add Second Filling Layer: On top of the second bread slice, add another lettuce leaf, one slice of deli chicken breast, one slice of American cheese, two bacon slices, and a few slices of fresh tomato for juiciness.
Finish with Top Bread Slice: Place the third slice of bread on top, mayo-side down, completing the sandwich structure.
Press and Slice: Gently press the sandwich together to help it hold its shape. Then slice the sandwich diagonally or into quarters for easy serving.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its best when the bread is still crisp and the ingredients fresh and flavorful.
Notes
Use cooked bacon for a crispy texture and enhanced flavor.
To make the sandwich easier to handle, pressing it gently helps keep the layers intact.
Feel free to substitute white bread with whole wheat or multigrain for added fiber and nutrition.
For a healthier version, consider using low-fat mayonnaise or mustard instead.
Tomato slices add juiciness; make sure they’re not too thick to avoid sogginess.
