Instructions

Rest the chicken: After your chicken breast has cooked, it should be perfectly browned. This step will take six minutes per side on medium-low heat. Remove from the pan. Allow your chicken breasts to rest for five minutes on each side. Then, tear them apart with a fork.

Lettuce, Mayo, and Bread: Thoroughly wash your lettuce leaves. Let it dry or dab with a kitchen towel. Mix with mayonnaise. Butter your bread and toast on the pan. Arrange on your bread and cover thereafter serve. Your sandwich is now ready to eat. Enjoy.
