Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

How to Make Classic Chicken Sandwich

1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. While the grill is heating, season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
3. Drizzle olive oil on the grill or in the skillet, then add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
7. Assemble your sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of the creamy sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with sliced chicken and shredded lettuce, then place the top bun on.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

• Ensure your grill or skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a perfect sear.

Easy Variations
