This post brought to you by Boar’s Head Brand®. All opinions are 100% mine.
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Boar’s Head(R) to see if I wanted to compete in their Boar’s Head® Boldest Bracket Challenge. The idea is simple enough. Take 16 awesome food blogs and let each one come up with an original sandwich using the Bold line of Boar’s Head(R) products.
Smash those sandwiches together in a March Madness style bracket and see who comes out on top!
Well, this behemoth of a Chipotle Club Sandwich is my entry and I think I have a good shot at taking the prize (bragging rights).
But guess what? Even though I can’t win actual prizes, you can! All you have to go vote for your favorite sandwich and you can win some serious prizes. The further the sandwich makes it that you vote for, the better the prizes get! The grand prize is a freakin’ iPAD Air, people.
While you can start voting today, my sandwich showdown is on Thursday (03/06)!

Chipotle Club Sandwich
Crispy Bacon
The traditional club sandwich is taken to another level with all the chipotle flavors I added to this guy, but one thing stays the same. It’s not a club sandwich if it doesn’t have super-crispy bacon.
To get mine crispy, I like to bake it on a wire rack at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes.
Chipotle Madness
Boar’s Head(R) has three awesome products that are all laced with chipotle flavors: a roast chicken breast, a gouda cheese, and a Gourmaise sauce (think mayonnaise, but spicy)! I used them all.
Making the Sandwich
Making this delicious beast is pretty straightforward. Toast your bread and smear a piece of toast with the Gourmaise sauce. Then layer on a few slices of chicken, a slice of gouda, and some crispy bacon.
Top that with some crispy lettuce and red onions. On the second piece of bread, smear on the avocado spread. It’s just avocado and yogurt mixed together with some salt and lime. It calms some of the chipotle heat!
Put this sauce side down on top of the lettuce and onion.
Then you just repeat the whole building process on the top layer!
You’ll need some skewers to hold all the layers of the Chipotle Club Sandwich in place.
Cut it up and serve it up!
This Chipotle Club Sandwich is a big sandwich for one person, but you could set out the quarters and people could help themselves.
I tried to get a good photo of all the lovely layers!
I’ll be honest, I ate this entire Chipotle Club Sandwich all by myself. It was spicy, but the avocado sauce and veggies help keep the heat in check. A cold beer wouldn’t hurt either.
Be sure to zip on over to the Boar’s Head® Boldest Bracket Challenge and vote for your favorite sandwich (hopefully mine)!
