Smoked Chicken Club Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
• To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
• Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
• Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.

Steps:

• Start to cook the bacon so that it becomes crisp.
• In a blender or food processor puree the olives, mustard, anchovy paste, olive oil, vinegar, and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper and adjust amount of vinegar for tang.
• Toast the bread lightly.
• Remove bacon to paper towels to drain.
• To assemble, spread each slice of bread with olive mixture, on one side only.
• Set some bacon on bottom of bread, then top with tomato and onion slices, chicken and cucumber; salt and pepper each layer lightly as you go.
• Top with bread, mayonnaise side down; repeat with second layer of fillings and finish with third slice of bread, olive mixture side down.
• Assemble the second sandwich in the same way.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. To flatten each chicken breast, place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Working from center, gently pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick; remove wrap.
• When grill is heated, carefully oil grill rack. Place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center. During last 5 minutes of cooking time, heat bacon on grill, turning once, until hot. If desired, during last 3 minutes of cooking time, toast kaiser roll pieces, cut side down, on grill.
• Spread cut sides of roll pieces with mayonnaise. Cut each chicken breast into 2 pieces. For each sandwich, on bottom section of roll, place 2 chicken pieces, overlapping if necessary. Top with lettuce leaf, tomato slice and middle section of roll. Place 2 Canadian bacon slices on top of middle roll section. Top with lettuce leaf and top section of roll. Press each sandwich slightly; spear each with 2 long toothpicks. Cut sandwiches in half between toothpicks.
