Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 4 tablespoons raspberry preserves
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup fresh arugula or spinach
• 4 slices bread (ciabatta or sandwich rolls)
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Step 3

While the chicken is resting, in a small bowl, mix the raspberry preserves with the balsamic vinegar until combined. Set aside.

Step 4

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the unbuttered side of each slice.

Step 5

On two of the slices (cream cheese side up), layer fresh arugula or spinach, sliced chicken, and spread 1 tablespoon of the raspberry preserve mixture over the top.

Step 6

Place the other slices of bread on top (buttered side facing out), creating sandwiches.

Step 7

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the inside is warmed through.

Step 8

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your Raspberry Chicken Sandwiches!
