The Best Chicken Club Sandwich

Step 1

Heat a medium non-stick frying pan or skillet over a medium high heat and add the bacon once hot. You won’t need to add extra fat if you are using streaky bacon as it will cook in the juices it releases. Cook the bacon for 5-7 minutes or until it’s cooked to your liking. Place on some paper towel to drain the fat and set aside.

Step 2

Add the egg to a small saucepan of cold water. Place over a high heat and time for 8 minutes once it reaches the boil. Once cooked remove from the heat and plunge into some ice cold water.

Step 3

Slice the chicken very thinly (see note and peel and slice the egg (into around 6 pieces, widthways)

Step 4

Toast the bread until golden and then carefully slice off the crusts. Lightly butter one side of each piece.

Step 5

Now assemble the sandwich. On top of one piece of bread add a layer of mayo, lettuce, tomato and then chicken. On another layer mayo, lettuce, tomato, bacon and the egg followed by the final slice of bread. Place the second ‘sandwich’ on top of the first open one.

Step 6

Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy!
