Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Low-carb sandwich buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 0.5 medium Onion
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato into round slices and the onion into thin rings.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and mustard. Set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the sandwich, start by spreading the mayonnaise and mustard mixture on the bottom half of each low-carb bun. Place a leaf of lettuce on top, followed by the grilled chicken breast.
Top the chicken with tomato slices and onion rings. Add another lettuce leaf for an extra crunch if desired.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the stack, and press gently.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic grilled chicken sandwich.
