Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces whole wheat burger buns
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced tomato
- 0.25 small, sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill or griddle pan to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 5 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, prepare the burger toppings. Slice the tomato and red onion and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to make a simple burger sauce.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a spoonful of the mayonnaise-mustard sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a grilled chicken breast on top of the sauce, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion rings.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve warm.
