Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, grilled chicken slice, and tomato slice on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.
