This garlic butter lettuce, tomato, and grilled chicken sandwich is a bold upgrade to a classic favorite. Crisp, golden toast brushed with fragrant garlic butter sets the stage for juicy grilled chicken and fresh, vibrant toppings layered generously in between. It is simple comfort food done exceptionally well.
The key to this sandwich is balance. The richness of garlic butter and creamy spread pairs beautifully with the freshness of crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes. Each bite delivers crunch, juiciness, and savory depth without feeling heavy or overwhelming.
Grilling the chicken adds a lightly charred flavor that makes the sandwich feel hearty and satisfying. Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps it juicy and ensures it stays tender when stacked onto the warm toast.
