Cobb Club


I don't 
necessarily
consider
myself
to be a
"sandwich person"...

but lately
I have been
eating
so many
delicious
sandwiches!

For example... 



I made a
"Cobb Club"
today
for
Lunch.

So good...

you should
try it
too!


Cobb Club Sandwich
Adapted from Rachael Ray 


4 slices bacon 
4 slices white or wheat sandwich bread
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
Two 8-ounce pieces skinless, boneless chicken breast, halved lengthwise
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 small avocado
1 tsp granulated garlic
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/4 cup sour cream 

2 leaves green-leaf lettuce 
4 slices tomato 
2 thin slices red onion 


1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Bake the bacon on a broiler pan until crisp, about 15 minutes.

2. While the bacon is cooking, toast the bread.

3. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden, about 6 minutes; season with salt & pepper. Stir in the butter and hot sauce.

4. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the garlic and lemon juice. 

5. In another small bowl, mash the blue cheese with the crème fraîche. 

6. Spread the avocado mash on 2 slices of toast and top each with a lettuce leaf, a chicken breast half, 2 tomato slices, an onion slice and 2 bacon strips. 

7. Spread the blue cheese dressing on the remaining toasts and set on top. Slice and serve!

You do make good sandwiches. The breakfast sandwich you made me was so good, I had to make it this morning.
