Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Garlic head
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 whole Baguette
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Start by roasting the garlic. Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
While the garlic is roasting, marinate the chicken. In a bowl, juice the lemon and mix it with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are coated well. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside to rest, then slice into thin strips.
Prepare the roasted garlic mayonnaise. Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted cloves into a bowl. Mash with a fork, then mix with the mayonnaise until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and toast the cut sides lightly on the grill pan or in a toaster oven.
Assemble the baguette. Spread a generous layer of roasted garlic mayonnaise on both sides of the baguette. Layer the bottom half with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and sliced chicken. Top with the other half of the baguette.
Slice the baguette into servings and enjoy your Lemon Oregano Chicken Baguette with Roast Garlic Mayonnaise.
