Ingredients
  

Club Sandwich Ingredients
  • 3 slices Thick-cut white bread High-quality artisan white bread
  • 6 oz (170g) Chicken breast Boneless, skinless, sliced thin
  • 3-4 strips Bacon Cooked until wavy and crispy
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Green leaf lettuce Fresh, ruffly tops
  • 1 medium Tomato Ripe, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 large Avocado Ripe
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Ranch dressing High-quality store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Butter or Oil For the griddle

Equipment

  • 1 Skillet or Griddle For searing chicken and toasting bread.
  • 2 Wooden Picks Long picks to hold the stack together.

Method
 

Prepare the Components
  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown (165°F/74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  2. Butter the white bread. Toast on a griddle until golden-brown griddle marks appear on both sides.
  3. In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix with ranch dressing until a thick, pale green paste forms.
The Stack
  1. Spread avocado ranch on the first slice of toast. Layer lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
  2. Place the second slice of toast. Apply spread. Layer the seared chicken slices and crispy bacon.
  3. Apply spread to the final slice of toast and place on top. Secure with two long wooden picks and slice diagonally.

Notes

Use a serrated knife to cut through the layers without compressing the bread.
Ensure the chicken is rested before slicing to keep the sandwich juicy.
