Argentine Club Sandwich
A hearty Argentine Club Sandwich layered with tender white meat, crispy bacon, tangy blue cheese, and creamy mayonnaise, perfect for a satisfying lunch or casual gathering.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place cooked slices of chicken or turkey white meat on a slice of white bread.
- Sprinkle blue cheese over the meats and add cooked bacon.
- Spread mayonnaise on another slice of bread.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing the mayonnaise-spread bread on top of the layered ingredients.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon instead of regular bacon. If you're looking for a lighter option, substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or avocado spread. You can also experiment with different cheeses like feta or gouda if blue cheese isn't to your taste. Ensure the bread is toasted for added crunch. This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover chicken from recipes like Chicken Breasts With Pineapple.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Argentine Club Sandwich with a side of crispy fries or a simple salad for a complete meal. Pair it with a refreshing drink like iced tea or a light beer. This sandwich also goes well with a bowl of soup, such as Grandmama Cogle'S Sunday Vegetable Soup, for a comforting lunch or dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sandwich components separately in airtight containers. The bread can become soggy if assembled too early. Refrigerate cooked meats and bacon for up to three days. When ready to eat, reheat the meat in a microwave or skillet until warmed through and assemble the sandwich fresh for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of bread for this sandwich?
Yes, you can use whole grain, sourdough, or even a gluten-free option if desired. Just ensure that the bread can hold the ingredients without getting soggy. Toasting the bread will also help maintain its structure.
What can I add to make this sandwich spicier?
To add some heat, consider incorporating sliced jalapeños or a spicy mustard into the sandwich. You can also add hot sauce to the mayonnaise or use pepper jack cheese instead of blue cheese for a flavorful kick.
Can I prepare this sandwich in advance?
It's best to assemble the sandwich just before serving to maintain freshness. However, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time, such as cooking the bacon and chicken, and shredding the cheese. Store these components separately until you're ready to put the sandwich together.
