Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish 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 discard the excess marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 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 about 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, slice the potato buns in half. You can toast them lightly on the grill if desired.

  2. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of grilled chicken, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
