Wartime Wednesday: Chicken Club Sandwich




Defying the laws of gravity, this Chicken Club Sandwich is simple & fattening.

Three slices of toast are buttered and removed of crusts. The bottom layer is spread with mayo, then topped with lettuce and cooked chicken (in our case, roasted), which is then spread with mayo.

Yeah, the chicken is mayo'ed.

Another piece of toast with mayo, on which bacon & tomatoes are placed.

And the tomatoes? Oh, yeah...more mayo. I wish I were kidding. Those '30's dieticians loved their fat.

Finally, the last piece of (thankfully) mayo-free toast is added, and viola!; a sandwich is born.

Perfect for late summer, with the abundance of tomatoes, although somewhat messy in consumption.





Blog Party#26 is coming, and this month, we're focusing on What's Inside! All your favorite appetizers with something to hide, and drinks, too...if you can manage!

Another Labor day dish; Bacon & Tomato Salad. I pushed for this dish, despite Matt's initial reluctance. Everyone was glad I did. This is one awesome salad. Easy turned into a main dish, chopped tomatoes, red onion and basil are tossed with olive...

Oooh, yum! Toasted bread lightly spread with mayo, topped with crisp lettuce and tomato slices, more toasted bread, more lettuce, then sliced (cooked, duh) chicken and bacon, top with final piece of toast. Quarter, impale with cute toothpicks topped...
