Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 pieces Burger buns
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

Mince 3 garlic cloves and combine with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with garlic powder and 1 minced clove of garlic to make the garlic mayo spread. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

While the chicken rests, lightly butter the burger buns and toast them on a skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

Slice the tomato into thin slices and wash the lettuce leaves. Set aside.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwich: Spread garlic mayo on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, and a cooked chicken breast on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Secure the sandwich with a toothpick if needed, and serve warm with your favorite side dish or chips.
