Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  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.

Grilling Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to 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 per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 6

    Slice the Tomato

    While the buns are toasting, slice the tomato into even slices.

  3. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled chicken, sliced tomato, and cheddar cheese (if using). Top with the other half of the bun.
