Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  3. 5

    Let it Rest

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Toppings

    Slice the tomato into thin slices.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by a grilled chicken breast, and top with tomato slices. Finally, cover with the top half of the bun.
