Method

Prepare Chicken Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare Lettuce and Tomato

    Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice the tomato into thick slices.

  2. 4

    Prepare Aioli

    If using store-bought aioli, set aside. If making homemade, blend garlic, egg yolk, lemon juice, and mustard in a food processor, then slowly drizzle in olive oil until emulsified.

Assemble Burger

  1. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the bottom half of the burger bun on a plate. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by the grilled chicken breast, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of aioli. Top with the other half of the burger bun.
