Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling the Chicken

    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. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes 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

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Spread the Mayonnaise

    Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the inside of each toasted bun.

  3. 8

    Add Lettuce and Chicken

    Layer 2 lettuce leaves on each bun, followed by the sliced grilled chicken.

  4. 9

    Add Tomato

    Top the chicken with 2 tomato slices on each sandwich.

  5. 10

    Close the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the bun over the sandwich to complete.
