Prepare Ahead

  1. 250g shredded cooked chicken breast

Ingredients

12 slices (3 slices per serve) Wise Wheat Hi-Fibre White Sliced Loaf
8 slices bacon
4 tablespoons mayonnaise 
2 tablespoons pesto 
2 large tomatoes sliced 
4 slices or your favourite cheese 
Green leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce
Bamboo skewers or toothpicks 

Method

  1. Toast all slices of bread until lightly golden, set aside. 
  2. Fry bacon until just crispy and place on paper towel. 
  3. In a small bowl mix the mayonnaise with pesto. 
  4. Spread the mayo and pesto mix onto one side of all slices of toast.
  5. To stack, lay out one toasted slice with mayo and pesto mix facing upwards. Add on top the tomato sliced, shredded chicken, cheese slice, lettuce and bacon.
  6. Place second toasted slice on top, with mayo and pesto mix facing upwards.
  7. Repeat the ingredient layering
  8. Place third toasted slide on top, with may and pesto mix facing downwards.
  9. Secure your triple decker sandwich with a bamboo skewer or large toothpick to hold everything in place, then cut in half.
  10.  Serve immediately. 

Tips and Tricks

  1. Upgrade the spread. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a touch of garlic to the pesto mayo mix for a brighter, zesty flavour that cuts through the richness of bacon and cheese.
  2. Use fresh, firm tomatoes.  Choose ripe but firm tomatoes to avoid excess moisture that can make the sandwich soggy. Pat slices dry with a paper towel before layering for a cleaner stack.
  3. Warm the shredded chicken.  Gently warm the shredded chicken before assembling to melt the cheese slightly and create a toasted, melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels like a deli-style sandwich.

Variations

  1. California style club sandwich.  Layer in sliced avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a creamy, zesty upgrade that adds colour, nutrition, and freshness.
  2. Mediterranean club sandwich.  Swap pesto for sun-dried tomato spread or hummus, add roasted red capsicum and baby spinach. 
  3. Veggie club sandwich.  Replace bacon and chicken with grilled halloumi, eggplant, and zucchini slices

Serving Suggestions

Perfect for a hearty lunch or light dinner, this triple-decker club sandwich is easy to prepare, impressive to serve, and a delicious way to add more fibre to your day. Ideal for weekend brunches or casual entertaining — it’s a café-quality classic that feels indulgent yet wholesome.

Storage

Best enjoyed freshly made for maximum crunch and flavour. If preparing ahead, store ingredients separately — keep cooked bacon and shredded chicken breast refrigerated for up to 2 days, and toast and assemble just before serving to maintain texture.
