Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Pickles, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (approximately 1/2 inch) to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the spice mixture.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce in a small bowl to create a spicy mayo spread.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes, cut side down, until lightly golden.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread spicy mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, grilled chicken breast, tomato slices, pickles, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious spicy grilled chicken sandwiches!
