How to Make

Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and season with salt, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly golden.

Step 2: Shred the Chicken

Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it cool for a few minutes.

Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Make the Chicken Filling

Place the shredded chicken in a large bowl.

Add the chopped red onion, pickles, mayonnaise, and mustard.

Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and creamy.

Step 4: Toast the Bread

Lightly grill or toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.

Step 5: Assemble the Club Sandwich

Spread your preferred sauce on the first slice of bread.

Add lettuce and a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture.

Place a second slice of bread on top and spread with more sauce.

Layer with lettuce, cheese, cucumber, tomato, chicken salami, and additional chicken mixture if desired.

Finish with a third slice of bread.

Step 6: Serve

Cut the sandwich diagonally into triangles and serve immediately.

Enjoy with fries, chips, or a fresh salad.

Storage

Refrigerator

Store the chicken filling separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Make Ahead

Prepare the chicken mixture in advance and assemble the sandwiches just before serving to keep the bread fresh and crisp.

Freezing

Freezing is not recommended because mayonnaise-based fillings can separate after thawing.
