Description

A juicy, smoky grilled chicken sandwich with tender chicken breasts, crisp veggies, and melty cheese—all grilled to perfection. Quick, flavorful, and ideal for weeknight dinners or casual lunches.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5–6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 split sandwich buns
4 slices cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella cheese
4 large lettuce leaves
1 large tomato, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice (for the sauce)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for the sauce)

Instructions

Pat chicken breasts dry. If thick, slice horizontally or gently pound to 1/2-inch thickness.
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano in a bowl. Coat chicken breasts and let rest for 10 minutes.
Mix mayonnaise (or yogurt), honey mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder for the sauce.
Grill chicken over medium heat until juicy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (7-8 minutes per side). Serve on warm, toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion, cheese slice, and a drizzle of sauce.

Notes

For tender chicken, avoid overcooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness. Substitute Greek yogurt for mayo for a dairy-free option. Add pickled jalapeños or avocado for extra flavor.
