Gourmet Chicken Sandwich
This chicken sandwich combines tender, juicy chicken with fresh ingredients, all tucked between two slices of artisanal bread. It’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner and can easily be customized to suit your preferences. Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of artisan bread (sourdough or ciabatta work great)
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Optional: slices of cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can let them marinate for 15-30 minutes if you have the time for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- While the chicken is resting, take the artisan bread and toast it lightly. This adds a lovely crunch to the sandwich.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to create a zesty spread. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Now it’s time to assemble the sandwich! Spread a generous amount of the mayo mixture on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
- Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves on one slice, followed by sliced chicken. If you’re using cheese, you can also add it on top of the chicken.
- Next, layer on the avocado and tomato slices, adding more spinach if desired. Place the other slice of bread on top, mayo side down.
- For an extra touch, you can press the sandwich slightly and heat it in the skillet for a minute on each side. This helps melt the cheese if you’ve included it and warms up the sandwich nicely.
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Gourmet Chicken Sandwich with a side of chips or a fresh salad!
This Gourmet Chicken Sandwich is a feast for both the eyes and the stomach. Perfect for a picnic or a simple weekday meal, it captures the essence of good food made with love. Enjoy creating this delicious dish!
