Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Aioli Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Chipotle Aioli

    In a food processor, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers (with some adobo sauce), lime juice, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Cook the bacon until crispy. Slice the tomato. Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes. Spread chipotle aioli on both sides of the buns. Layer with arugula, grilled chicken, bacon, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
