Triple-layered sandwich with chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo—ready in 25 minutes.
# Ingredient List:
→ Meats
01 - 8 slices cooked bacon
02 - 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced, or 7 oz roasted turkey breast, sliced
→ Bread & Spreads
03 - 12 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread
04 - 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional, for toasting
→ Vegetables
06 - 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
07 - 8 leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce
→ Seasonings
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
# How to Make:
01 - Toast all 12 slices of bread until golden brown. Butter each slice lightly if desired for extra richness.
02 - Spread mayonnaise evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
03 - Place 4 bread slices mayonnaise-side up on a flat working surface. Top each with lettuce leaves and several tomato slices. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
04 - Place a second bread slice mayonnaise-side up on top of each first layer. Arrange sliced chicken or turkey evenly, then lay 2 strips of cooked bacon over the meat on each sandwich.
05 - Top each second layer with additional lettuce leaves. Place the final bread slice mayonnaise-side down to complete each triple-decker sandwich.
06 - Insert cocktail sticks through all four corners of each sandwich to hold the layers together. Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters to form triangle portions.
07 - Arrange the triangle quarters on plates and serve immediately with potato chips or pickles on the side.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Triple layered means triple the satisfaction and it looks impressive on any plate.
- Ready in under thirty minutes with zero complicated techniques.
- You can swap ingredients based on whatever is sitting in your fridge right now.
02 -
- Do not assemble more than ten minutes before eating because the tomatoes will soak through even toasted bread.
- Cocktail sticks are not optional unless you enjoy watching your sandwich avalanche onto the plate.
03 -
- Warm the chicken slightly before assembling because cold meat dulls the flavor of every other ingredient.
- Spread mayonnaise all the way to the crust edges to create a moisture barrier that keeps bread from drying out.
