Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Grilling and Assembly

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

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

  2. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, grill the onion and green bell pepper slices for about 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  3. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of marble rye bread. Toast on the grill for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of one slice of toasted marble rye, layer the grilled chicken breast, grilled onions, green peppers, sliced tomato, and shredded cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of marble rye, buttered side up.

  5. 7

    Grill the Sandwich

    Return the assembled sandwich to the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm with your favorite side.
