Grilled Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rolls

    While the chicken is resting, cut the Portuguese rolls in half. If desired, lightly toast the insides on the grill.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll. Place a grilled chicken breast on top, then add leafy greens and sliced tomatoes. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and top with the other half of the roll.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with your choice of side.
