Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Add Salsa and Cheese
During the last minute of grilling, top each chicken breast with salsa and shredded cheddar cheese. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
Toast the Buns
While the chicken is finishing, cut the gourmet buns in half and toast them on the grill until golden brown.
Assemble the Sandwich
Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce leaves and tomato slices. Cover with the top half of the bun.
