Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Marinade
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 sandwich buns
- 4 slices of cheese (optional)
- Lettuce, tomato, and onion slices
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or your favorite dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the chicken breasts.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow them to marinate for a few minutes while the grill heats up to absorb the flavors.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is thoroughly cooked and juicy.
- Toast the Buns: While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the sandwich buns on the grill until they are golden and crisp, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Prepare the Buns: Spread mayonnaise or your choice of dressing on the toasted buns to add moisture and flavor to the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Layer the grilled chicken breast on the bun, add a slice of cheese if desired, then top with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion slices for crunch and freshness.
- Serve: Place the top half of the bun over the fillings and serve the sandwiches immediately while warm and flavorful.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add your favorite herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade.
- If you prefer a fully cooked cheese, add the cheese slice on the chicken during the last minute of grilling to melt it slightly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (74°C).
- Customize the sandwich with your favorite veggies or condiments.
- To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten-free buns.
