Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts

- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 pieces Red onion
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness if needed, then drizzle them with olive oil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly onto the chicken breasts.
Step 4
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the basil aioli. In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic clove. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 6
Slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill for about 1 minute, or until golden brown.
Step 7
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of basil aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a grilled chicken breast, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve the sandwiches immediately, and enjoy your delicious grilled chicken sandwiches with basil aioli!
