Description

This juicy grilled chicken sandwich is made with marinated chicken sandwiched between slices of crispy fried bread with lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
4 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 thick slices French bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
4 slices tomato
4 lettuce leaves

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2 Prick chicken breasts all over with a fork, then place in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, dill, garlic and herb seasoning, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to coat chicken breasts thoroughly. Let stand for 10 minutes.
3 Remove chicken breasts from marinade; discard marinade.
4 Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5 Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let stand for 5 minutes, then cut chicken breasts in half.
6 Melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle garlic powder and salt over butter and oil. Add French bread slices to the skillet; toast until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes; remove from the pan.
7 For sandwich assembly, place one French bread slice, toasted-side down, onto a serving plate. Spread mayonnaise on bread; top with a tomato slice, then season with salt and pepper.
8 Cover with a grilled chicken breast half and lettuce leaf. Spread untoasted side of another French bread slice with mayonnaise and place on top to make a sandwich.
