Divine Summertime Chicken Sandwich
Description
This stovetop version of a grilled chicken sandwich is a tasty combination of buttery French bread, a smooth cream cheese spread, and herb-seasoned chicken.
Ingredients
•
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
•
4 teaspoons dried dill weed, divided
•
4 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
•
2 tablespoons butter, softened
•
1 small tomato, sliced
•
2 leaves lettuce
•
4 thick slices French bread
Directions
1
Mix cream cheese, 2 teaspoons dill, and 2 tablespoons garlic together in a medium bowl; set aside.
2
Season chicken with remaining garlic and dill.
3
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the pan.
4
Butter one side of each slice of bread with remaining butter. Toast buttered bread in the skillet until golden, about 2 minutes.
5
Remove bread from the skillet. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture onto the unbuttered sides of 2 bread slices. Top each slice with lettuce, tomato slices, chicken breast, and remaining bread.
