Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Grill 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 on the grill. Cook for about 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.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the buns

    While the chicken is resting, toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Prepare toppings

    Wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato.

  3. 8

    Assemble the sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the grilled chicken breast on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and cheese if using. Top with the other half of the bun.
