Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 8 pieces Bread slices (such as sourdough or whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Butter one side of each bread slice lightly. Toast the buttered side of the bread over medium heat in a clean skillet until golden and crisp. Remove from the heat.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the lemon mayonnaise onto the untoasted side of the bread slices.
Layer the lettuce leaves, sliced chicken, and tomato slices on four of the bread slices. Top each with another slice of bread, toasted side facing outward.
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Sandwiches with Lemon Mayonnaise!
