Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Gluten-Free Bread
- 2 pieces Chicken Breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 slices Provolone Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 leaves Lettuce
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Place them between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
Butter one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a slice of provolone cheese on the unbuttered side of two bread slices. Top with a chicken breast piece, a lettuce leaf, a couple of slices of tomato, and another slice of cheese. Finally, top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Wipe out the skillet used for the chicken or use a clean skillet. Heat it over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve immediately.
