Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 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.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a grilled chicken breast on top, followed by two lettuce leaves and slices of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
