I was looking for something to cure winter food blahs and this did the trick and then some! It was wonderful! The whole family loved it and declared that it was better than any fast food chicken sandwich they had ever tried. A keeper for sure! Five stars doesn't even begin to cover how good it was. We have two in our family who aren't fond of cream cheese so instead of serving the sandwiches already done up I spread everything out buffet style and let everyone do their own. One of my crew chose to use mayo instead of the spread and said it tasted just fine. The cream cheese is what makes it, though! No complaints from this cook! Thank you for such a great contribution! :)Update: This also works great to cook and put in the fridge to use for a cold chicken sandwich in a lunchbox! Just put the breast in a container, wrap up an untoasted bun, send along some lettuce and tomato in a baggie, and a small jar of the sauce (or mayo) and taa-da LUNCH! :)

You can not go wrong with this recipe. Be careful with the garlic and don't cook it on high heat. Like cream cheese and chicken with a little lemon and dill could taste bad. Delicious and easy to do. The only difference was that I had soft deli sandwich bread instead of french bread...still delicious. Thanks for the post.

I made these sandwiches for dinner last night and they were wonderful. I used fresh dill - about 1 tbsp split between the spread and the pan. I also added some minced garlic to the spread. I took one reviewers advice and cut the chicken breast in half to decrease the thickness instead of pounding. I decreased the oil/butter in the pan by about half and cooked with the lid on. I cooked for 3 minutes on each side and then removed, wrapped in foil and let sit for 10 minutes, perfect and flavorful. I will be making these again.

I loved how this tasted and it was pretty too. Very easy to make. My husband fed his to the cat and asked me to make something normal tomorrow. I liked it enough for both of us so it gets a 5 from me!

This chicken sandwich is the best one I've had, ever! I followed the recipe, don't need to change a thing ingredient wise. To solve the burning garlic problem, just make sure not to cook over to high heat. My garlic was perfect, but I only cooked on med. heat, even though it seemed my chicken took forever. Be sure to pound flat your chicken, (to about 1/2 inch) so as to quicken cooking time, and also I discovered if you cover your pan while cooking chicken it seems to help speed it up. We will be having these regularly!
