Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices of your favorite bread or 2 brioche buns
• 4 slices of tomato
• 4 leaves of lettuce
• 4 slices of cheese (optional)
• Mayonnaise, mustard, or your favorite sauce
• Pickles (optional)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stove.
3. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
4. Toast the Bread: While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the bread or buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise, mustard, or your favorite sauce on the toasted bread. Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each sandwich. Top with slices of tomato, lettuce, cheese, and pickles if desired. Cover with the top half of the bread.
6. Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
