2 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Olive oil
1 tsp Salt + black pepper
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
For the bacon & prosciutto
6 slices bacon
6 slices prosciutto
For the aioli
1/2 cup mayo
1 to 2 tbsp chopped Calabrian chilis
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
Squeeze of lemon
Pinch of salt
For the build
4 slices sourdough bread
6 slices Colby Jack cheese
Lettuce
Tomato slices (seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper)
Butter for toasting
Instructions
1. Crispy bacon & prosciutto
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Lay bacon on one tray, prosciutto on another
Bake bacon for 15 to 18 minutes until crispy
Bake prosciutto for 7 to 9 minutes until delicate and crackly
Transfer to paper towels
2. Cook the chicken
Pat chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and smoked paprika.
Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat
Cook thighs 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through
Rest, then slice thinly
Step 3: Calabrian chili aioli
Mix everything together until smooth. Taste and adjust heat and acid.
Step 4: Cheese-crusted sourdough
Butter one side of each slice of bread
Place 2 slices in a pan, butter side down
Add cheese on top
Place the other slices on top (butter side up)
Cook like a grilled cheese until deeply golden and the cheese melts
Then pull them apart so you have two cheesy, crispy inner sides ready to be stuffed.
Step 5: Build
Spread Calabrian chili aioli on both sides
Layer tomato, lettuce, chicken, bacon, proscuitto and close

This chicken club is a simple upgrade on the classic. Juicy skillet-seared chicken, crispy bacon, and prosciutto are layered with lettuce and olive oil–dressed tomatoes, then finished with a creamy Calabrian chili aioli for a little heat.
It all gets tucked inside sourdough that’s toasted with melted Colby Jack like a grilled cheese, giving you crispy edges and a rich, melty center in every bite.
