Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, optional
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry. If they are very thick, gently pound them to an even thickness.
- Brush the chicken with olive oil and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Grill the chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If using cheese, place a slice on each chicken breast during the final minute of grilling and allow it to melt.
- Mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together to make the sandwich sauce.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Spread the sauce over the toasted buns. Layer with lettuce, grilled chicken, tomato, and red onion.
- Top with the other bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chicken breasts of similar thickness so they cook evenly.
- For extra juicy chicken, avoid overcooking and use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F (74°C).
- Add avocado, pickles, bacon, or your favorite sandwich sauce for extra flavor.
- The grilled chicken can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
