Method

GF Bar Favorites - Grilled Chicken Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and fresh lemon juice to create a vibrant GF marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Coat evenly, seal, and refrigerate for 15 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

  3. 3

    Preheat cooking surface

    Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat until hot and lightly smoking.

  4. 4

    Cook the chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade and grill 5-6 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing if desired.

  5. 5

    Toast buns

    Split gluten-free buns and toast cut sides on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble the sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun and Dijon mustard on the top bun. Layer the grilled chicken, tomato slices, cheese (if using), arugula or spinach, and dill pickles. Top with the other half.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately. This sandwich pairs nicely with a light salad or GF chips.
