Description
A simple and satisfying sandwich featuring grilled chicken, garlic butter, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato on toasted bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons garlic butter
- 1 grilled chicken breast, sliced
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the grilled chicken dry if needed and slice it evenly. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into even rounds. Have your garlic butter at room temperature so it spreads easily on the bread.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of garlic butter on one side of each slice of bread. If the butter is cold, soften it slightly so it spreads in a thin, even layer that will crisp when heated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the bread butter-side down in the skillet and toast until the underside is golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side if you flip briefly, or 3–4 minutes total if you only toast the butter-side and then flip to toast the other side lightly. If your chicken is cold, warm the slices in the skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until heated through.
- On one slice of toasted bread, layer the sliced grilled chicken, lettuce leaves, and tomato slices. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Top with the other slice of bread, garlic butter side facing in. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Wrap tightly in parchment for a picnic. Recommended to keep components separate if storing for later to maintain bread crispness.
