Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 loaf baguette
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. This helps in even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Coat the chicken pieces evenly with the marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan and grill them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the heat and let them rest.
Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise and lightly toast them in the oven or on a grill pan until they are crispy and golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly on the inside of both halves of each baguette.
Place lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each baguette.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and layer those on top of the lettuce.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and arrange them over the tomatoes.
Lay two slices of Provolone cheese on top of the chicken in each baguette.
Melt the butter in a pan and use a brush to gently spread it on the top halves of the baguettes. Place them back in the oven to allow the cheese to melt and the butter to infuse.
Close the baguettes, slice them into desired portions, and serve warm.
