Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better 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 each side 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.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Slice the Tomato

    While the buns are toasting, slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  3. 8

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the toasted bun, add a lettuce leaf, place the grilled chicken breast on top, add a slice of cheddar cheese, and top with tomato slices. Cover with the top half of the bun.
