I’ve read somewhere that the CLUB sandwich stands for Chicken Lettuce Under Bacon, but where’s the T for Tomato in that scenario and I know I wouldn’t be happy with a club sandwich without tomato.
Anyway the club sandwich has become a favourite lunch during “working from home” lockdowns. It’s easy and quick to prepare and convenient to eat weather you’re in front of a PC pretending to work or in front a TV bingeing on Netflix.
So what goes into a club sandwich? You need 3 slices of bread, a layer of cheese,chicken,crispy bacon, tomato and fresh lettuce. You can use any bread you have, I prefer mine white thinly sliced and lightly toasted. You also need cooked chicken. It can be leftover roast chicken, crumbed schnitzel style or at a pinch one of those sliced deli things pretending to be chicken. I have even used salami and or ham if I’m desperate.
