Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Ciabatta rolls
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato
• 0.5 pieces Red onion
• 2 pieces Cheddar cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are thick, use a sharp knife to butterfly them or pound them slightly so they are an even thickness.

Step 3

Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the aioli. Set aside.

Step 6

Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides. Toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.

Step 7

Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwich: Spread the aioli generously on the toasted sides of the ciabatta rolls. Place a lettuce leaf on each bottom half, followed by grilled chicken, a slice of cheddar cheese, tomato slices, and red onion rounds. Top with the remaining lettuce leaf and close the sandwich with the top half of the roll.

Step 9

Serve immediately while the cheese is still melty. Enjoy your Bistro Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
