Stacked high with crispy bacon, fresh avocado, and flavorful BBQ mayonnaise, this Cowboy Club Sandwich is a delicious twist on a classic favorite that will satisfy any appetite.

Ingredients

Bacon and Spread

  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Bread and Butter

  • 4 slices hearty sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Filling

  • 8 ounces cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels to remove excess fat.
  2. Prepare the BBQ Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce and mayonnaise until well combined, creating a flavorful spread for the sandwich.
  3. Butter the Bread: Lightly butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread to ensure a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
  4. Start Grilling the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the buttered side of the bread down into the skillet and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each slice to allow it to melt.
  5. Add Chicken: Add thinly sliced chicken breast on top of the cheese slices on two of the bread slices to build the main protein layer.
  6. Apply BBQ Mayonnaise: Spread the BBQ mayonnaise mixture over the remaining slices of bread, on the unbuttered side, to infuse the sandwich with smoky, tangy flavor.
  7. Assemble the Layers: Layer the avocado slices, tomato slices, crispy bacon, and romaine lettuce over the chicken-covered bread, creating a hearty and fresh combination.
  8. Season: Season the layers with salt and pepper to taste for enhanced flavor balance.
  9. Complete the Sandwich: Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, to finish the sandwich assembly.
  10. Grill the Other Side: Flip carefully to grill the other side until toasted and golden brown, ensuring the cheese is melted and the bread is crisp on both sides.
  11. Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the sandwich diagonally and serve it warm, perfect for a satisfying lunch.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding jalapeno slices to spice up the sandwich.
  • Swap out sourdough bread for whole grain or your favorite kind for a different taste.
  • You can use smoked turkey or ham instead of chicken for variety.
  • For a vegetarian variant, omit the bacon and chicken and use grilled vegetables.
  • Pair with sweet potato fries for a classic cowboy meal combination.
