A skewer through each stack lets you cut it on the diagonal without the layers sliding apart.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Place 6 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat without overlapping.

    Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once when the edges curl and fat renders, until crisp but not burned.

  2. 2

    Slice 180 g cooked chicken breast thinly across the grain so the pieces stay tender.

    Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt, using just enough to season the mild chicken without making the sandwich salty.

  3. 3

    Spread 15 g butter thinly over 6 bread slices.

    Toast both sides over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, stopping when the surface is golden and dry enough to hold the fillings.

  4. 4

    Slice 1 tomato thinly and pat 4 lettuce leaves completely dry.

    Check the ribs and folded edges of the lettuce, because trapped water will soften the toast quickly after assembly.

  5. 5

    Spread 3 tablespoons mayonnaise thinly across the inside faces of the bread slices.

    Build the first layer with chicken, tomato, and lettuce, keeping the pieces flat so the sandwich stacks evenly.

  6. 6

    Add the middle bread slices, then divide the bacon and remaining vegetables over them.

    Cover with the final slices to make two three-slice sandwiches. Secure with picks, cut diagonally, and serve immediately.

Tips

Slice the tomato thinly and dry the folded parts of the lettuce to reduce moisture reaching the toast.
