Instructions

Preparation

  • Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts horizontally to create four thin cutlets.

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  • In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped parsley, stirring until fragrant.
  • Brush thick cut sourdough bread slices with the garlic butter and toast until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Assembly

  • Combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Spread a layer of lemon Dijon mayo on one side of each toasted bread slice. Layer with lettuce, grilled chicken cutlet, and tomato slices.
  • Press the sandwich together, cut in half if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for more flavor, add cheese for a delicious melt, and customize the veggies as desired.
