Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir until well blended.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high, around 375°F. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill for 5–6 minutes on each side.
  3. Spread garlic butter on one side of each slice of bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread butter-side down for about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each toasted slice, layer with lettuce, tomato, and sliced grilled chicken.
  5. Cap it off with another slice of toasted bread, butter-side up, slice diagonally and serve warm.
