Chicken Sandwich

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Grill or pan-fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the chicken is cooked, place it on the bottom half of the burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and a generous scoop of the crab topping. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
