Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 2 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 2 pieces burger buns
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to create thinner fillets for faster cooking. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the chicken fillets.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves. Set these aside for sandwich assembly.
Cut the burger buns in half and butter the inner sides. Toast the buns in a skillet or on a grill until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the mayonnaise-Dijon dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by cooked chicken, a slice of cheddar cheese, and tomato slices.
Place the top half of the toasted bun on each sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy these succulent chicken sandwiches with your favorite side dish or chips.
