Marinating the Chicken

1. Prepare the Marinade

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

2. Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and coat them well. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Chicken

3. Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Assembling the Sandwich

4. Prepare the Bread

Toast or grill the slices of bread until golden brown.

5. Slice the Chicken

Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.

6. Prepare the Vegetables

Slice the avocado and tomato.

7. Assemble the Sandwich

Spread mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Layer lettuce leaves, sliced chicken, avocado, tomato, and cheddar cheese on two slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
