Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 4 whole grain sandwich buns
  • 1 cup mixed greens
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • Mustard or sauce of choice

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Meat thermometer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in this marinade for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
  5. While the chicken cooks, toast the whole grain buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Once the chicken is done, slice it if desired, and place it on the bottom half of the toasted bun.
  7. Layer your mixed greens, sliced tomato, and avocado on top of the chicken.
  8. Spread mustard or your favorite sauce on the top bun, then close the sandwich.

Notes

Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy. This sandwich pairs beautifully with sweet potato fries or a side salad.
