Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Sub rolls
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Onion
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, softened Butter
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Pound the chicken breasts lightly to ensure even thickness.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken breasts on the preheated grill pan for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the aioli by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise and spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides.
Toast the buttered sides of the sub rolls in a pan or on a grill until golden and warm.
Assemble the subs by spreading a layer of the prepared aioli on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, cooked chicken strips, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
Close the sub with the top half of the roll and optionally wrap in parchment paper for easier handling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Bistro Chicken Sub!
