Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

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

Grilling and Assembly

  1. 3

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    While the chicken is grilling, slice the avocado and tomato. Set aside.

  4. 6

    Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  5. 7

    Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.

  6. 8

    Spread 2 tablespoons of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

  7. 9

    Layer the grilled chicken, sliced avocado, lettuce, and tomato on top of the mayo.

  8. 10

    Cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
