Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by preheating your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Bun Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a slice of tomato. Slice the cooked chicken breasts in half and place them on top. If desired, add a slice of cheese. Top with the other half of the bun.
