Ingredients
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 8 thick slices of French bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
- 4 slices of tomato
- 4 lettuce leaves
Method
- To make the grilled chicken sandwich, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Prick the chicken breasts with a fork, then place them in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, dill, garlic and herb seasoning, and black pepper to a bowl. Stir it all to coat the chicken breasts thoroughly. Leave it alone for ten minutes.
- Remove chicken breasts from the marinade. Discard the marinade.
- Then, cook the chicken on the preheated grill until it is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear (about 10 to 15 minutes per side). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Leave it for five minutes, then cut the chicken breasts in half.
- Melt butter and two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Following this, sprinkle garlic powder and salt over butter and oil. Then, add French bread slices to the skillet. Toast until golden brown on one side for about three minutes and remove from the pan.
- Lastly, assemble the sandwich. For this, place one French bread slice, toasted side down, onto a serving plate. Spread mayonnaise on the bread, top with a slice of tomato, and season it with salt and pepper. Cover with half of a grilled chicken breast and lettuce leaf. Spread the untoasted side of another French bread slice with mayonnaise and place it on top to make a sandwich.
There you have it! A crispy grilled chicken sandwich on the plate. Serve them with fries and some homemade cold beverages (or store-bought ones) to enjoy every bite of the sandwich. Everyone will love indulging in this flavorful meal.
