Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 pieces Red onion
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness if needed, then drizzle them with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly onto the chicken breasts.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the basil aioli. In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic clove. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill for about 1 minute, or until golden brown.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of basil aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a grilled chicken breast, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the sandwiches immediately, and enjoy your delicious grilled chicken sandwiches with basil aioli!
