Equipment

serrated knife
Toothpicks or Bamboo Skewers
large baking sheet
parchment paper
Offset spatula or butter knife
Pastry brush

Ingredients

6 slices White bread, thick sliced, toasted with crusts removed
1-2 tablespoons Butter, melted
6 strips Bacon, Applewood smoked, cooked til crispy see notes
2 Chicken Breasts, fully cooked by baking or poaching, sliced
1 Beefsteak Tomato, sliced
¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
4 large leafs Butter Lettuce
6 tablespoons Mayonnaise

Instructions

Cook the bacon by following the directions on the back of your bacon package, but generally the method is to lay the strips on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, baked for 15-20 minutes at 400F degrees until crispy and brown.
Lightly toast the bread on the broil setting of the oven, by trimming off the crusts and brushing one side lightly with melted butter. Toast one side of the bread just until a light golden brown, then turn the slices over and repeat.
Slice the tomatoes into ¼" (quarter inch) slices and season with salt and pepper.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into quarter-inch pieces (you may not need the all the chicken depending on the size of your bread.)
Note: To cook the chicken breasts, smear both sides with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake in a 375F degree oven for 20 minutes or until internal temperature is 165F degrees.
To assemble the sandwich, here's the order per sandwich:
One slice of bread, smeared with a generous amount of mayonnaise.
Lay a piece of butter lettuce on top.
Then two slices of bacon.
Then a few slices of chicken.
Then another piece of toasted bread.
Another generous smear of mayonnaise.
Another piece of butter lettuce.
A slice or two of tomato to cover the lettuce.
Two more slices of bacon.
Sliced Chicken on top of that.
Place the final piece of bread with mayo smeared on one side on top.
Secure the sandwich with toothpicks, then slice in half or quarters to serve.

Notes

A serrated knife is your best bet to cut this sandwich and the tomatoes.
Get a good bakery-style thick cut fresh white bread for this sandwich.
If you can't find Applewood smoked bacon, just use regular bacon.
