Enjoying a club sandwich needn’t require a trip to Greggs. This healthy recipe includes freshly cooked chicken and bacon for maximum flavour, but it’s still quick and easy enough that you can make it at home.

Ingredients

½ chicken breast / 1tbsp olive oil / 2 rashers lean bacon / 3 slices chunky wholemeal bread / ½ avocado, sliced / 1 tomato, sliced / 25g lettuce, chopped / 1tsp Greek yoghurt

  • Butterfly the chicken, brush with olive oil and grill under a medium heat for eight minutes or until cooked throughout, turning halfway through.
  • Grill the bacon for five to seven minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Lightly toast the bread.
  • Assemble the sandwich to your preference, spreading the Greek yoghurt on the underside of the top slice of bread.
