Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 slices Slices of dairy-free cheese
- 4 slices Slices of whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Dairy-free butter or margarine
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 piece Tomato, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and slice it in half horizontally to create two thinner pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken pieces.
Step 4
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
While the chicken rests, spread a thin layer of dairy-free butter or margarine on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 6
In the same pan or skillet used for the chicken, place two slices of bread, buttered side down, over medium heat.
Step 7
Place a slice of dairy-free cheese on each piece of bread. Layer one piece of cooked chicken on top of the cheese, followed by baby spinach leaves and several tomato slices.
Step 8
Top with the remaining slices of dairy-free cheese and bread slices, buttered side up.
Step 9
Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts.
Step 10
Remove the sandwiches from the pan, slice them in half, and serve immediately while warm.
