Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 8 slices bacon, cooked
- 8 slices bread
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by cooking chicken if not already prepared. Slice chicken into thin, even strips about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Wash and pat dry strawberries, then slice them thinly into uniform pieces, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Toast bread slices until golden brown and crisp, either in a toaster or using a skillet with light butter.
- Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Begin assembling the sandwich by laying a piece of lettuce on the first bread slice, followed by sliced chicken, crispy bacon strips, and fresh strawberry slices.
- Place the second slice of bread on top, repeating the layering process with mayonnaise, lettuce, chicken, bacon, and strawberries.
- Complete the triple-decker sandwich by adding the final slice of bread on top, with mayonnaise spread on the inside.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally into triangular halves for easier handling and more appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately while bread is still warm and crisp, optionally accompanied by additional sliced strawberries or a light side salad.
