Marinated Chicken

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

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. Grill for 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 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill.

  2. 7

    Slice the Tomato

    Slice the tomato into even rounds.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, then the grilled chicken, followed by tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
