Ingredients
- 1 piece chicken breast
- 2 slices almond flour bread
- 2 slices dairy-free cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 leaves lettuce leaves
- 2 slices tomato slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally to make two thinner pieces.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the chicken pieces with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 6
While the chicken is resting, place a slice of dairy-free cheese on each piece of almond flour bread.
Step 7
On one slice of the bread, place the grilled chicken on top of the cheese.
Step 8
Add the sliced tomato and lettuce leaves on top of the chicken.
Step 9
Cover with the second piece of almond flour bread, cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Step 10
Place the sandwich back on the grill pan and press down gently with a spatula. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
Step 11
Remove the sandwich from the grill pan, slice in half, and serve immediately.
