Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling the 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 preheated grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per 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.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Cut the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill if desired.

  2. 7

    Slice the Tomato

    While the chicken is resting, slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a grilled chicken breast on top, followed by a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and cheese slices if using. Top with the other half of the bun.
