Heavenly Summertime Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients Needed

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

• 4 teaspoons dried dill weed, divided

• 4 tablespoons minced garlic, divided

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

• 1 small tomato, sliced

• 2 leaves lettuce

• 4 thick slices French bread

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, 2 teaspoons of dill, and 2 tablespoons of garlic. Set the mixture aside.

2. Season the chicken with the remaining garlic and dill.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet.

4. Butter one side of each slice of bread with the remaining butter. Toast the bread, buttered side down, in the skillet until golden, about 2 minutes.

5. Remove the toasted bread from the skillet. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture on the unbuttered sides of 2 slices of bread. Layer with lettuce, tomato, chicken breast, and top with the remaining bread slices.
