Ingredients

Mustard Mayo (Kneaders Sauce Copycat)

1/2 cup real mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sour cream
2 tsp yellow mustard

Sandwich Ingredients (Makes 2 large sandwiches)

6 oz rotisserie chicken breast, hand-pulled
4 strips cooked bacon
2 slices provolone cheese
2 large lettuce leaves
4–6 slices tomato
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh focaccia bread, sliced

Instructions

Make the Mustard Mayo

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard. Mix until smooth and well blended. Set aside.

Assemble the Sandwich

Slice the focaccia bread horizontally to create sandwich halves.
Spread a layer of mustard mayo on the bottom half of each piece of bread.
Layer with provolone cheese, pulled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and avocado slices.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread more sauce on the top half of the bread and close the sandwich.
Slice in half and serve immediately.

Tips

Use fresh focaccia for the best texture and flavor. If unavailable, ciabatta or sourdough also work well.
Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor, but grilled or leftover chicken works too.
Toast the focaccia lightly for extra crunch and structure.
Prep ahead: Cook bacon and make the sauce in advance for quicker assembly.

Variations and Substitutions

Bread options: Try sourdough, multigrain, brioche buns, or wraps.
Cheese: Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar can be used in place of provolone.
Sauce twist: Add a little honey or Dijon to the mustard mayo for extra zing.
Make it spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the sandwich or sauce.
Vegetarian version: Skip the chicken and bacon and add more avocado, cheese, or grilled veggies.

FAQs

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can prep ingredients separately and assemble just before eating. Avoid adding avocado too early to prevent browning.

Can I use grilled chicken instead?
Yes, grilled or pan-seared chicken breasts work great. Just slice thinly for layering.

Is this sandwich good cold?
Yes, it can be served cold or warm. If you prefer it warm, toast the assembled sandwich lightly in a pan or sandwich press.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with kettle chips, a side salad, or roasted sweet potato fries.
Serve with iced tea, lemonade, or a crisp white wine.
Great for lunches, casual dinners, or weekend gatherings.
