My Favorite Tips for Foolproof Results

Pound chicken thin so it cooks fast. Let the chicken rest so it’s not dry. Salt the tomatoes so they taste better. Use fresh garlic, not powder. Toast the bread well so it’s not soggy.

Leftovers? Here’s How to Store & Reheat Like a Pro

Chicken keeps in the fridge for 3 days. The sandwich is better fresh. If you have leftovers, wrap it tight and reheat in a pan. Garlic butter lasts in the fridge too, use it on bread or anything else.
