Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Pesto Aioli

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, pesto sauce, minced garlic clove, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Grilling the Chicken

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Sandwich Assembly

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled chicken breast, a slice of cheese, and two tomato slices. Spread a generous amount of pesto aioli on the top half of the bun and place it on top.
