For the Sandwich

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, wash and slice the lettuce and tomato.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts and place them on the bottom half of the kaiser buns. Top with lettuce and tomato slices. Place the top half of the bun on and serve.
