Bowling Alley Club Sandwich

Been wanting to make a proper club sandwich for a long time. Harry's Bar is famed for having the best, but I'm sure there are other versions (including the one, from what I understand, at the Hotel de Paris in Monaco)! This was a good start. For two, with some good quality crisps and Negro Modelos!

6 slices of quality white bread

2 small quality chicken breast

best bacon

ripe and sweet tomatoes

home-made mayo

bibb lettuce

S&P

cayenne pepper

1. make mayo (or if you prefer a little bit of zing, mix some commercial Spanish aioli, commercial French mayonnaise and dijon mustard into a tasty spread)
2. season chicken breasts with salt, pepper and a little bit of cayenne; saute in pan for 3 minutes on each side, then place in a pan in oven at 180 c for 10 minutes
3. while chicken in oven, fry bacon in pan until crisp
4. toast bread slices while carrying out steps 2 and 3
5. place 2 slices on cutting board, smear each with mayo followed by lettuce, chicken, bacon and tomatoes
6. smear mayo on both sides of 2 more slices of bread and put these on top of first 2 slices; repeat using up rest of toppings; finish by adding a final slice of bread, which has also been spread with mayo.
7. cut sandwiches in 2 triangles and fasten with tooth picks.
