Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Cooking and Assembly

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the apple-wood-smoked bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  4. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the ciabatta buns in half and spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on each half. Layer the grilled chicken, bacon, romaine lettuce, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 7

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the assembled sandwiches on the grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and golden.
