Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns (toasted)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 4 teaspoons Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the mustard marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts if desired, or leave them whole for the sandwiches.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a teaspoon of mayonnaise (if using) on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with one piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion.
Place the grilled chicken breast (or slices) on top of the vegetables, then cover with the top half of the toasted bun.
Serve the grilled chicken sandwiches warm and enjoy!
