Method

Prepare components

1

Cook bacon

Place bacon strips in a cold skillet in a single layer. Turn heat to medium and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp (about 8–10 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain and cool.

2

Prepare chicken

If using leftover or rotisserie chicken, slice or shred into bite-size pieces. If using raw chicken breasts, poach gently in simmering salted water for 12–15 minutes until cooked through, then cool and slice. Season the sliced/shredded chicken lightly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.

3

Slice tomato and wash lettuce

Cut tomato into 1/4-inch thick slices. Pat lettuce leaves dry. Season tomato slices with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.

4

Make spread

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (if using) until combined. This will be spread on the bread slices.

Assemble and toast

5

Toast bread

Lightly butter one side of each bread slice with the softened butter (about 1/2 tbs per slice). Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place bread buttered-side down and grill 1–2 minutes until golden. Alternatively, toast in a toaster and then butter the toasted sides.

6

Spread and layer

Place three slices of toasted bread on a work surface. On the unbuttered side of the bottom slice spread mayonnaise mixture (about 1 tsp). Top with 2 lettuce leaves, 1 slice of cheese, and half of the chicken (about 1 cup). Place the second slice of bread on top. On its unbuttered side spread mayonnaise, then add remaining lettuce, tomato slices (arrange evenly), remaining chicken, and two bacon strips (3 strips if you prefer more bacon). Place the final slice of bread on top, mayo side down.

7

Finish and secure

Press the sandwich gently to compress layers. Insert two toothpicks through the sandwich to hold it together. Repeat the process to make the second sandwich using the remaining three slices of bread and remaining fillings.

Serve

8

Cut each assembled sandwich diagonally into quarters (or halves) using a sharp serrated knife. Serve immediately with a pickle spear and extra bacon or chips on the side.
