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.
