Method

  1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, 2 teaspoons of dill, and 2 tablespoons of garlic. Set aside.

  2. Season the chicken with the remaining garlic and dill.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, approximately 8 minutes per side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) by using an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chicken from the pan.

  4. Butter one side of each slice of bread with the remaining butter. Toast the buttered bread in the skillet until it turns golden, which should take around 2 minutes.

  5. Remove the bread from the skillet. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture onto the unbuttered sides of 2 bread slices. Place lettuce, tomato slices, the cooked chicken breast, and the remaining bread on top of each cream cheese-covered bread slice.

  6. If desired, you can grill the chicken breasts for additional flavor.
