To start you need a bottom that’s firm on the outside but wonderfully soft in the middle like finely toasted bread. Italian or some type of French bread is preferred. This is your base, everything builds off of this, and if possible it should be slightly larger than the top. This has the chance to make or break a perfect sandwich. Next is the meat of the sandwich. Chicken lightly grilled to perfection with a little lemon juice and pepper is best. This is followed by pepper jack cheese. You shouldn’t need to melt the cheese it should slightly melt and bend on top of the chicken from its heat and the bacon. Which by the way the next layer is nicely crisped bacon, the leaner cuts please. Now don’t forget the oregano. This should be put on at about the bacon layer so that it’s in the middle of the sandwich and can also get stuck in the cheese. Then is a thin slice of a nice ripe tomato that is big enough to cover most of the sandwich without hanging out all of the sides. The next layer is a fine slice of a sweet onion like Vidalia, slightly smaller than the tomato layer. Then the dressing: ranch, peppercorn ranch is the best but we can make due. The last layer, a top of lightly toasted bread preferably with some parmesan cheese baked into it. This, my friend, is the perfect sandwich. Now, anyone care to prepare one for me?
