Ingredients:
8 slices thick-cut bread (Texas toast, sourdough, or your favorite hearty bread)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2–3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or parsley, oregano, basil blend)
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Olive oil, for brushing
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1–2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
Green leaf lettuce or Romaine lettuce
Mayonnaise, for spreading
Optional add-ins: sliced cheddar, provolone, or Swiss cheese; sliced avocado for extra creaminess
Directions:
1. Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, Italian herbs, and optional red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. Prepare and Grill the Chicken:
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat, let rest, then slice.
3. Toast the Bread:
Spread garlic butter on one side of each bread slice. Grill or toast the bread, butter-side down, until crispy and golden brown.
4. Assemble Your Sandwich:
Spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer sliced grilled chicken, juicy tomato slices, fresh lettuce, and optional cheese or avocado.
5. Serve:
Top with the remaining bread slices, cut in half, and serve warm. Enjoy every garlicky, buttery, grilled chicken bite!
