Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces whole wheat burger buns
• 2 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 medium, sliced tomato
• 0.25 small, sliced red onion
• 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the burger toppings. Slice the tomato and red onion and set them aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the low-fat mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to make a simple burger sauce.

Step 7

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by spreading a spoonful of the mayonnaise-mustard sauce on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 10

Place a grilled chicken breast on top of the sauce, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion rings.

Step 11

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve warm.
