We just had the most wonderful sandwich, and though it’s simple, I just had to share this almost forgotten treat, my Slow Roasted Chicken Club with Bacon, Swiss & Honey Mustard Sauce!

Why is it that when you make it a “club”, it suddenly turns an everyday sandwich into something so special? It instantly looks elegant, and just makes it so much more fun, doesn’t it?

The first time I ever had one was when I was a little girl and my Grandma took me out to lunch. I remember feeling so grown up seated at the table covered with a crisp white linen tablecloth and napkin to match, shiny silverware, water glasses filled with ice and fresh lemon, and when that amazingly pretty sandwich with fancy frilled toothpicks and a delicious deli-style pickle on the side arrived by a real waiter, I just suddenly felt special!

Funny how such a simple sandwich can make such a big impression that lasts a lifetime.

I made these fun, retro-style sandwiches out of some incredibly delicious roast chicken that I had slow-cooked the day before. Only 6 ingredients, and wowza! You’ve got an awesome roast chicken! The first night we had a little of the chicken with our dinner, and the next day we were ready for some leftovers!

I almost used all of the rest of it for either a casserole or pot of soup, but both my hubby and I were craving something a little on the lighter side.

Ok, it was on the lighter side for me because I can only eat a half and I’m stuffed!

But these club sandwiches make such a perfect lunch! I love to have just a half with a small cup of soup! Anything from Chicken Noodle, to Broccoli Cheddar , Velvety Cauliflower, 5-Minute 5-Ingredient Tomato, to that last cup of Ham ‘n Bean!

Doesn’t that chicken look to DIE for? Believe me when I say, it was. Besides the paprika and pepper sprinkling on top, there’s only 4 more ingredients to make it, too! Including the chicken! SO easy!! And it all came about from winning a recipe contest on Facebook by Minerva Dairy!

They make the most wonderful butters I’ve EVER tasted! I used their Garlic Herb butter for this, along with another unexpected ingredient! You’re really going to want to make this, so be sure to check it out {here}!!

Club sandwiches will be something that we’ll be enjoying all summer long, especially once my tomato plants start producing! There are a few more this style that I’ll be sharing with you soon, but for now, I think I’ll wait until I have homegrown tomatoes!

Hope you enjoy! And be sure to pop by on Saturday! I’ll have one last sandwich for you that I made with the last of the leftover slow roasted chicken! Until then, have a wonderful week!
