Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns (toasted)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Red onion (sliced)
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the chicken breasts with the marinade on both sides, ensuring even coverage.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the chipotle mayonnaise. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, and lime juice. Stir until smooth.
Toast the sandwich buns until golden brown. This can be done on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, a grilled chicken breast, tomato slices, red onion slices, and a slice of cheddar cheese (if using).
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
