A quick and easy triple-decker club sandwich featuring crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and your choice of chicken or turkey, toasted to golden perfection for a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread (preferably slightly thick-cut)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for toasting)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 6 slices crispy cooked bacon (thick-cut preferred)
  • 3 large cooked chicken breast slices or deli turkey (thinly sliced)
  • 6 fresh lettuce leaves (romaine or iceberg), washed and dried
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese (optional)
  • Pickle slices (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lay bacon slices flat and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat. Keep the bacon fat in the pan for toasting bread if desired.
  2. Butter one side of each bread slice generously. Place buttered side down in the skillet over medium heat (using bacon fat if kept). Toast until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat for all slices.
  3. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and mustard. Spread a thin layer evenly on the non-toasted sides of 6 bread slices.
  4. On one mayo-coated bread slice, layer 2 slices of chicken or turkey, 2 slices of tomato, and 2 lettuce leaves. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the tomatoes.
  5. Place a toasted bread slice (buttered side down) on top of the first layer. Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on the top side of this slice.
  6. Add 3 slices of bacon, cheese slices, and remaining lettuce leaves on top of the middle bread.
  7. Place the final toasted bread slice on top, buttered side down. Press gently to compact layers slightly.
  8. Trim off the crusts if desired and cut the sandwich diagonally into quarters. Secure each quarter with toothpicks or sandwich picks.
  9. Serve immediately for maximum crunch and flavor.

Notes

Keep bacon fat to toast bread for extra flavor. Pat lettuce and tomato dry to avoid sogginess. Use toothpicks to hold sandwich layers together. Assemble just before serving to maintain crispness. For dairy-free, use vegan mayo and skip cheese. For gluten-free, use gluten-free bread.
