Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Cooking 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 grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Add the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is grilling, toast the buns on the grill until lightly golden.

  2. 7

    Slice the Tomato

    While the buns are toasting, slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, the grilled chicken breast with melted Swiss cheese, and sliced tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
