Servings: 2

Ingredients

Chicken breast
2 (6 oz each)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Lemon juice
1 tablespoon
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Mustard
2 tablespoons
Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons
Burger buns
2, split
Lettuce leaves
2
Tomato
1, sliced
Red onion
1/4, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Brush the chicken breasts generously with the marinade mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3-5 minutes to retain its juices.
  6. While the chicken is resting, place the burger buns on the grill and toast them for about 1 minute, or until lightly golden and crispy.
  7. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
  8. Layer a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by the grilled chicken breast.
  9. Top with slices of fresh tomato and red onion for added crunch and flavor.
  10. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve the grilled chicken sandwiches immediately, enjoying the explosion of flavors!
