🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Sandwich:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (to season chicken)
4 slices of your favorite sandwich bread, brioche bun, or ciabatta roll
1–2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
4–6 leaves of crisp romaine, butter, or green leaf lettuce
For the Garlic Butter Spread:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Pinch of salt
🔥 How to Make It:
Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, salt, and parsley. Set aside.
Grill the chicken:
Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally (if thick) to create thin cutlets.
Rub with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Grill on medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely charred.
Toast the bread:
Lightly toast your bread or buns and spread garlic butter on each side while still warm so it melts into the surface.
Assemble the sandwich:
Start with the garlic-buttered bread.
Add grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato slices, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Top with the other slice of bread and press gently.
Serve warm: Cut in half if desired and enjoy immediately!
🧑🍳 Tips & Variations:
Add cheese: A slice of provolone, Swiss, or mozzarella pairs perfectly.
Go spicy: Add sriracha mayo or a few jalapeño slices for heat.
Swap the protein: Use turkey breast, tofu, or grilled portobello mushrooms for a twist.
Make it a melt: Pop the sandwich back on the grill or in a panini press to make it gooey and toasty.
