Low Carb Chicken Club Sandwich
A keto and gluten-free twist on the classic clubhouse sandwich - layered with chicken, bacon, ham, cheddar, tomato, and mayo between crisp iceberg lettuce leaves instead of bread. Ready in 20 minutes and only 5.1g net carbs per serving.
Ingredients
- 6 large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 6 oz cooked chicken breast (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 4 slices bacon, cooked extra crispy
- 4 oz deli ham
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices tomato
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until extra crispy. Warm the cooked chicken. Using clean scissors, cut the 6 large lettuce leaves into rough square shapes.
- Lay 2 lettuce leaves on a plate. Spread half the mayonnaise across them evenly. Layer the deli ham, chicken, and cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover with 2 more lettuce leaves. Spread the remaining mayonnaise on top. Layer the tomato slices and crispy bacon over the mayo.
- Top with the last 2 lettuce leaves. Poke a toothpick or small skewer into each corner of the sandwich to secure it. Slice diagonally corner to corner to make 4 sandwich triangles.
- Serve immediately. Recipe makes 2 servings.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is the easiest option - just shred and use. Deli chicken slices work great too.
- Extra crispy bacon is key - it holds up better in the layers and adds the best texture.
- Skip the tomato to lower net carbs slightly.
- Swap chicken for turkey breast for a fun variation.
- To transport, wrap the sandwich in parchment paper before slicing to keep it tidy on the go.
- Use clean scissors to trim the lettuce leaves into neat square shapes.
