Method

Preparing the Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the boneless chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. 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). Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, slice the sandwich buns in half. Optionally, you can toast them on the grill for a minute or two until they are golden brown.

  2. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a grilled chicken slice. Top with tomato slices and cheese slices if using. Finally, place the top half of the bun on the sandwich.
