This sandwich was inspired by Kneader’s Bakery turkey bacon avocado sandwich. We subbed the turkey for rotisserie chicken so it was super easy. The only thing we cooked was bacon.
I took a tiny packet of their special sauce home with me and tested several versions before coming up with this Mustard Mayo. I thought it was just as good as their special sauce. It has just 3 simple ingredients that you probably have in your fridge. You’ll want it on all your sandwiches!
Keep this one in mind when you have company over and want to impress them but don’t have a ton of time to cook :).
P.S. If you can’t find focaccia, you should use Homemade Focaccia or use your favorite artisan bread – you’ll love it just as much :). PPS. You can make the sauce in advance and enjoy delicious sandwiches all week long.

Notes
This is a sandwich you’ll make again and again. I’ll remind you of this sandwich for using up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving ;).
Your shrimp tacos are awesome the best I ever had.And that sauce makes it more awesome.
I made this sandwich (followed the recipe except for the bread, I used sourdough bread) and we love it! The sauce is the glue of the sandwich, the avocado adds a nice creamy and moist texture. Onions add some crunch. I would definitely make it again! Thanks a bunch Natasha.
Thanks a lot for sharing that with us. We’re happy to hear that you loved it!
I accidentally come across this little gem whilst looking for other sandwich recipes. I make my partners crib & my daughters lunch for them both they have been complaining how they were so over boring sandwiches. I used leftover bbq chicken from the night before…this sandwich was a big hit with both of them! I luvd the fact it was so easy to make
Hi Sam! That’s wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Haven’t made this YET!! But I have to say, love watching your videos and LOVE your recipes. Waiting for your cookbook AND we gotta get you on TV!!!! Best of everything to you and your family
Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Alison! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes!
Natasha,
Thank you both for the time & effort to professionally post these great recipes! I finally tried the chicken bacon avocado BLT sandwich. Used a multigrain bread instead & added cayenne to the sauce. Wow! So good! Makes for a great lunch. And my 2 cats loved it too! Looking forward to trying more recipes.
That’s wonderful! Thank you, Sallie. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe.
As a chef I was very skeptical about the sauce but oh my God it is so good perfect for a cold sandwich.
So good! Thank you for your great review, Scott!
This was good! I made a whole roaster this weekend so have pulled several of your recipes to use the leftovers. Tonight one of the Mexican dishes.
I bet this is so good in a roaster! Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
I love to watch you cook so easy and simple. I have made lot of your recipes, like Hamburger soup , BRUSSELS Sprouts and so on. I just love you because you are so friendly to the viewers.
Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Charlene!
I recently made this sandwich for our outdoor summer concert group.
I used deli sliced chicken instead of the rotisserie chicken and muffaletta bread (ordered from a local Italian bakery) but otherwise adhered to the recipe.
Our friends raved about it!
Hi Lou, great to hear that the recipe was a huge hit! Thanks for your review.
Do you have a cookbook out?
Hi Janet, not yet, but I did sign with an agent, and we are working on it!
This sandwich sounds amazing!! Do you have a recipe for focaccia bread? It’s my favorite bread but I don’t know how to make it, a step by step video would be nice. 😉
Hi Cecilia, I don’t have a recipe for that yet but thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Natasha, I firstly want to thank you for your amazing recipes and the way you present it! Really love it. I made your Vanilla Cup Cakes yesterday. They were delicious. I agree with you – I will never want to make another cup cake recipe but yours. Regards, Sandra from South Africa
Yay that is awesome. Thank you for your excellent feedback!
Oh my was this sandwich delicious!!! We used a ciabatta bread purchased from Kneaders (it was hard to chew but delicious however I will buy focaccia next time).
The whole family loved it! Thanks
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Natasha,
Great sandwich!!!, do you know about how many calories/fat grams are in the sandwich?
Bill
Hi Bill, Hi, we are slowly working through all of our recipes to add nutrition info but it is a time-consuming process as they have to be added one at a time. Thank you for being patient!
Hi good night what recipes can you recommend in making for diabetic person?
Hi Parbathe, there are so many, but we don’t currently have a category for diabetic specific recipes. I would suggest starting it with any of our salads – particularly the ones that have avocado. The Chicken Avocado Salad is an all-time favorite and you could sub corn for cucumber to reduce the carb count in that one. Beyond that, with hundreds of recipes published, the best I could suggest would be to search our recipe index.
Made these today for us and my friend and her husband (her birthday). They were wonderful. Even better than we expected. Used a seeded artisan bread from a great market and every one raved. The sauce too was unbelievably delicious. (sorry no pic). We decided we will definitely share these again. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Holly!
What would you serve as a side salad for a ladies lunch. THANKS!Lori
Hi Lori, there are so many options, I’m not sure where to start. It depends on if you are looking for finger foods, then you might visit our appetizers page (Deviled eggs and bacon would be yummy!) and check out our sides category for side dish recipes. You can browse our full recipe index here.
I’m going to make these this weekend for a family get-together, and I plan on making apple salad to go with them. It is apples, Craisins & celery with a mayo/Cool Whip dressing. My family loves it.
I hope you love that, please let us know how it turns out!
hello dear, that sauce is a killer, makes the sandwich very yummy, everybody loved it, thx
That’s so great! Thank you for that awesome review!
