Ingredients
- 1 large Chicken breast
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 4 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
1. Season the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside for 5 minutes to marinate.
Step 2
2. In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 3
3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the garlic spread. Finely mince the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Set this aside.
Step 4
4. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the fresh spinach. Sauté the spinach for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
5. Toast the slices of whole-grain sandwich bread in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown.
Step 6
6. Assemble the sandwich: Spread the garlic mayo generously on one side of each slice of toasted bread. Layer the sliced chicken breast, sautéed spinach, and a slice of cheddar cheese on two of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.
Step 7
7. Optional: Grill the assembled sandwiches on a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to melt the cheese and get a crispy golden exterior.
Step 8
8. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy your protein-packed muscle booster sandwich!
