Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 sesame seed buns

• 1 cup pickles, sliced

How to Make Creamy Herb Chicken Sandwich

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. While the chicken is resting, prepare the creamy herb spread. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, dill, chives, and parsley until well combined.
5. Slice the grilled chicken into strips and spread a generous amount of the herb cream cheese on the bottom half of each sesame seed bun.
6. Layer the sliced chicken on top of the spread, followed by a handful of mixed leafy greens and pickles.
7. Top with the other half of the bun, and your sandwich is ready to serve! Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
• Feel free to adjust the herbs in the cream cheese spread to match your preferences.
• Toast the buns for an extra crunch and flavor boost.

Easy Variations

• Swap the chicken for turkey or a grilled portobello mushroom for a vegetarian option.
• Add sliced tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness.
• Use different herbs like basil or cilantro for a unique flavor profile.
• Try a spicy kick by adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese spread.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries for a delicious side.
• A fresh garden salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
• Coleslaw for a tangy crunch.
• A bowl of creamy tomato soup for dipping.
