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.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish 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.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill 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 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the Bread (Optional)

    If desired, lightly toast the slices of whole grain sandwich bread on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom slice of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of grilled chicken, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a few slices of tomato. Top with another slice of bread.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Repeat the layering process for the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
