Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole chicken breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole gluten-free sandwich buns
- 4 whole lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, slice the tomato into thin slices and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the gluten-free buns on the grill for about 1 minute, until lightly toasted.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading mayonnaise on the toasted buns. Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun.
Top each chicken breast with 2 lettuce leaves, several slices of tomato, and the top bun. Serve immediately.
