Gather all the ingredients. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- 2
Prick the chicken breasts all over with a fork, then place them in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, dill, garlic and herb seasoning, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to coat the chicken breasts thoroughly. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- 3
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade; discard the marinade.
- 4
Grill the chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let stand for 5 minutes, then cut the chicken breasts in half.

Melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle garlic powder and salt over the butter and oil. Add the French bread slices to the skillet; toast until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes; remove from the pan.

For assembly, place one French bread slice, toasted side down, on a serving plate. Spread mayonnaise on the bread; top with a tomato slice, then season with salt and pepper.

Top with a grilled chicken breast half and a lettuce leaf. Spread the untoasted side of another French bread slice with mayonnaise and place it on top to form a sandwich.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
