Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 pieces Burger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick.
Mince 3 garlic cloves and combine with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with garlic powder and 1 minced clove of garlic to make the garlic mayo spread. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, lightly butter the burger buns and toast them on a skillet until golden brown.
Slice the tomato into thin slices and wash the lettuce leaves. Set aside.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread garlic mayo on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, and a cooked chicken breast on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Secure the sandwich with a toothpick if needed, and serve warm with your favorite side dish or chips.
