Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Marinade Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

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

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each chicken breast to melt.

Assemble Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast Buns

    While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled chicken with melted cheese, and top with sliced tomato. Place the top half of the bun on.
