Ingredients
Scale
For the Grilled Chicken:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sandwich:
- 4 slices sandwich bread or 2 sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 leaves romaine or butter lettuce
- 4 slices ripe tomato
- 2 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Grilled Chicken: Pound chicken breasts to even thickness. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Grill over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small skillet, melt butter over low heat and add minced garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.
- Toast the Bread: Brush garlic butter onto bread slices or sandwich rolls. Toast the bread lightly on the grill or in a skillet until golden.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Layer lettuce and tomato on the bottom slice of bread, then top with grilled chicken and cheese if using. Finish with the top slice of bread and serve warm.
Notes
- For added flavor, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or pesto on the bread before assembling.
- You can also use ciabatta rolls or brioche buns for a heartier sandwich.
