Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Burger buns
- 2 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 0.5 sliced Red onion
- 1 sliced Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is grilling, slice the burger buns in half and place them on the grill, cut side down, for 1–2 minutes until lightly toasted.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mustard on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Layer each with a lettuce leaf, a grilled chicken breast, slices of tomato, red onion, and avocado.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your dairy-free grilled chicken burgers!
