Aqha Smoked Chicken Club Sandwich Recipes

SMOKED CHICKEN CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Start to cook the bacon so that it becomes crisp. In a blender or food processor puree the olives, mustard, anchovy paste, olive oil, vinegar, and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper and adjust amount of vinegar for tang.
• Toast the bread lightly. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain.
• To assemble, spread each slice of bread with olive mixture, on one side only. Set some bacon on bottom of bread, then top with tomato and onion slices, chicken and cucumber; salt and pepper each layer lightly as you go. Top with bread, mayonnaise side down; repeat with second layer of fillings and finish with third slice of bread, olive mixture side down. Assemble the second sandwich in the same way.

CAESAR CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan skin side up. Rub the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until cooked through. Cool slightly, discard the skin and bones, and slice the meat thickly. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the pancetta on another sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
• Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until minced. Add the anchovy paste, mustard, lemon juice, and mayonnaise and process again to make a smooth dressing. (Refrigerate the Caesar dressing if not using it immediately.)
• Slice the ciabatta in half horizontally and separate the top from the bottom. Toast the bread in the oven, cut side up, for 5 to 7 minutes; cool slightly. Spread the cut sides of each piece with the Caesar dressing. Place half the arugula on the bottom piece of bread and then layer in order: the sun-dried tomatoes, shaved Parmesan, crispy pancetta, and sliced chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and finish with another layer of arugula. Place the top slice of ciabatta on top and cut in thirds crosswise. Serve at room temperature.

THE W HOTEL'S CHICKEN CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• To make Chicken Paillard: Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Arrange the chicken in a bowl and drizzle meat with extra-virgin olive oil to just coat the chicken. Add chopped herbs and lemon zest. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Using your hands, rub the chicken and coat evenly with the herbs and seasonings. Transfer chicken in a single layer to hot skillet and cook chicken cutlets 3 or 4 minutes on each side. If necessary, place cooked chicken on warm plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm and repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Fry an egg sunny side up and seasoned with salt and pepper.
• Sandwich Creation: Toast bread. Spread mayo lightly and evenly over one side of each piece of toast, then layer on top first slice of bread chicken, bacon and avocado.
• Top with the second slice of bread, then layer on top of that piece lettuce, tomato & egg.
• Top with final piece of bread.
