Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

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

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

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

Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is resting, slice the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a plate, layer the sliced grilled chicken, followed by fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, prosciutto, and a generous spread of pesto mayo on top.
