Description
A satisfyingly rich sandwich with garlic-buttered bread, juicy grilled chicken, crisp lettuce, and fresh tomato—simple yet indulgent.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (Texas toast or your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 2 grilled chicken breasts
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
Instructions
- Mix butter with garlic (minced or powder) until evenly blended.
- Spread garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Toast the bread in a skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant.
- Grill chicken breast until cooked through (165 °F internal temp), then let rest and slice.
- Assemble sandwich: place lettuce and tomato on one slice of toast, top with grilled chicken, close with another slice.
- Serve immediately while everything’s warm and crisp.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
- Choose thick-cut bread like sourdough for better structure.
- Vegetarian option: swap chicken for garlic-buttered portobello mushroom caps.
- Grill chicken ahead and reheat as needed.
- Layer ingredients to avoid sogginess: lettuce and tomato between chicken and top slice.
