chicken sandwich

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 1/2 medium onion, sliced thinly

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the onion thinly and shred the lettuce.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into 1/2 inch thick pieces.
5. Spread mayonnaise on the inside of the hamburger buns.
6. Place a slice of chicken on the bottom bun, followed by cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, and sliced onion.
7. Top with the other bun half.

Notes

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
• To grill the chicken, preheat your grill to medium heat and cook for 6-8 minutes per side.
• Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Use brioche buns for a sweeter flavor.
