How to Make The Ultimate Loaded Chicken Club Sandwich

Let’s make it together, step by savory step!

Grill the Chicken: Heat your grill (or grill pan) and cook the chicken breasts until they’re golden, cooked through, and the juices run clear, about 6-7 minutes per side. You’ll know they’re ready when they look crave-worthy!
Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. The sound of it sizzling is music to the ears!
Toast the Bread: Toast your slices of bread to a lovely golden brown for that perfect crunch; you want it just crispy enough to hold all of your glorious fillings.
Spread the Mayo: Generously spread the garlic herb mayo on one side of each slice of toast, adding a creamy base that’s bursting with flavor.
Layer It Up: Build your sandwich by layering the grilled chicken, crispy turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Go ahead and pile it on high; the more, the merrier!
Finish It Off: Place the second slice of bread on top, mayo side down, and press gently to keep everything snug. Slice in half and serve while it’s still warm and inviting.

Fun Ways to Customize It

This sandwich is a blank canvas, perfect for adding your creative twists to make it your own!

Spicy Kick: Add jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce to give your sandwich a zesty kick that’s sure to wake up your taste buds.
Rich and Creamy: Swap out the avocado for a slice of your favorite cheese, or add some creamy ranch dressing for a luxurious touch that everyone can enjoy.
Veggie Boost: Incorporate roasted red peppers or sautéed mushrooms for an earthy addition that elevates your sandwich to new heights.
Herbaceous Touch: Use flavored mayonnaise—like chipotle or basil to give an extra layer of herbaceous flavor that pairs beautifully with the grilled chicken.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make Ahead: You can grill the chicken and cook the turkey bacon in advance! Store them in the fridge and assemble your sandwich fresh when you’re ready to eat.
Ingredient Swaps: Substitute turkey bacon with your favorite plant-based bacon, or skip the bacon entirely for a lighter take that’s still packed with flavor.
Slicing Tips: For clean, beautiful slices, use a serrated knife when cutting the sandwich in half. It helps avoid squishing all those glorious layers!
Storage Suggestions: If you have leftovers (which is unlikely, but just in case), wrap them tightly in foil or an airtight container. They’re best enjoyed within a day!
