Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 pieces brioche buns
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces sliced tomato
• 4 pieces sliced red onion
• 2 pieces cheddar cheese slices
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture and coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or the pan surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each chicken breast to allow it to melt.

Step 5

While the chicken cooks, slice the brioche buns in half and spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture on both halves of the toasted buns.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, a grilled chicken breast with melted cheese, tomato slices, and red onion slices. Top with the upper bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of chips, salad, or fries on the side. Enjoy!
