Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 piece Tomato (sliced)
- 1 piece Red onion (sliced)
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board, cover them with plastic wrap, and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
To make the chipotle garlic mayo, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt, if needed.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for extra crispness.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of the chipotle garlic mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Add a piece of grilled chicken, followed by a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the upper half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Sandwich with Chipotle Garlic Mayo!
