Instructions
Sizzle & Sear:
- Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Mushroom Medley:
- In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and add garlic. Saute for 30 seconds, then add mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and golden brown.
Creamy Chorus:
- Stir in Dijon mustard and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Build the Symphony:
- Slice the chicken breasts and pile them onto the toasted bread slices. Top with sauteed mushrooms, creamy Dijon sauce, and a generous sprinkle of Gruyère cheese.
Grand Finale:
- Toast the open-faced sandwiches under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Pile on the shredded lettuce, close the sandwich with a flourish, and dig in!
