Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

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

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Let It Rest

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the sandwich buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, grilled chicken, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and cheese slices if using. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
