Ingredients:
- 8 kalamata olives, pitted
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 1 small sweet onion, sliced
- 6 skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 kirby cucumbers, sliced
- 6 slices of bread
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions:
-
Cook the Bacon: Begin by cooking the bacon until it reaches a crisp texture. This step will take approximately 5 minutes. Once crispy, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
-
Prepare the Olive Mixture: While the bacon is cooking, place the kalamata olives, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of red wine vinegar to achieve your desired level of tanginess.
-
Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy. This will help the bread hold up against the fillings and add a delightful crunch to the sandwich.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the olive mixture on one side of each slice of toasted bread. On the bottom slice, layer the bacon, tomato slices, sweet onion slices, smoked chicken breast halves, and cucumber slices. Lightly season each layer with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Add the Mayonnaise: Spread mayonnaise on one side of the remaining slices of toasted bread. Place the mayonnaise side down on top of the layered ingredients. For a more substantial sandwich, repeat the layering process with a second slice of bread and additional fillings, finishing with a third slice of bread, olive mixture side down.
-
Serve: Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters as desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the combination of fresh and smoky flavors.
