INGREDIENTS
Serves 2
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon store-bought chipotle pepper purée
6 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
1/2 medium ripe avocado, mashed into a paste
1/2 pound cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
3 or 4 lettuce leaves
1. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and chipotle pepper purée. Spread the spicy mayonnaise on one side of 4 slices of the bread.
2. Spread the avocado on one side of the remaining 2 slices of bread.
3. Build the sandwiches: top 2 of the mayo-spread bread slices with the chicken. Place an avocado-spread bread slice avocado-side down on top of each. Divide the bacon, tomato, and lettuce on top of each sandwich. Finish by placing 1 of the remaining mayo-spread slices of bread on top of each sandwich.
4. Place 4 toothpicks in each sandwich and slice into quarters.
JOIN THE CLUB
A club sandwich is a triple-decker sandwich with a BLT component. Basically you can make anything into a club sandwich by putting a BLT on top of it. The classics are turkey or roast beef, but do not be confined to these basics. Any grilled fish, cold cut, or even vegetable works great.
