Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinade the Chicken

  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

    Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Grill the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the chicken

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

  3. 5

    Rest the chicken

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

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the bun

    While the chicken is resting, toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Slice the tomato

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

  3. 8

    Build the sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled chicken breast, and then top with tomato slices. Cover with the top half of the bun.
