🥪 Grilled Chicken Sandwich

🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Sandwich:

Simple Garlic Mayo (Optional but Recommended)

½ cup mayonnaise
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt

Mix and refrigerate until ready to use.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Chicken

Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets (or pound to even thickness).
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings.
Coat chicken and marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

2️⃣ Grill

Preheat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high.
Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side, until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
Add cheese during last minute so it melts.
Let rest 5 minutes before assembling.

3️⃣ Toast the Buns

Lightly toast buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes for better texture.

4️⃣ Assemble

Spread garlic mayo on buns.
Add grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
Top with bun and serve warm.

🔥 Flavor Variations

BBQ Style: Brush chicken with BBQ sauce in last 2 minutes of grilling.
Spicy: Add cayenne to seasoning or top with chipotle mayo.
Avocado Bacon: Add crispy bacon and sliced avocado.
Caprese: Use mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze.

Serve with fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
