Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.

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 grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each 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 about 5 minutes.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato into 1/4 inch thick slices.

  2. 7

    Spread Mayonnaise

    Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of bread (mayonnaise side up), layer lettuce, sliced tomato, and the grilled chicken. Top with the other slices of bread, mayonnaise side down.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
