Ingredients you’ll need:

Grilled chicken marinade:

• 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Honey, 1 Tablespoon
• Dijon Mustard 2 Tbsp
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• Smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon
• Taste salt and pepper

To Assemble the Sandwich:

• Four soft hamburger buns.
• Half a cup of lettuce (shredded leaves or whole leaves as desired)
• 1-2 tomatoes, sliced
• Dill pickle slices (approximately 4-5 slices per sandwich).
• 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise or your favourite sauce (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken:

A good marinade is the key to a juicy, flavorful chicken grilled on a grill. Combine the olive oil with the lemon juice, Dijon mustard and other ingredients in a bowl. All ingredients should be combined well.

Place the chicken breasts into a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade on the chicken and make sure that it is well coated. Close the bag or cover your dish and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. However, if you have more time, marinating the chicken for up to 2 hours is best. Marinating overnight, if you have the time, is best.

2. Preheat the grill:

Preheat your grill or grill pan on medium-high heat while the chicken is marinating. A hot grill is essential for the chicken to get those lovely grill marks and to cook evenly. Use a grill pan lightly oiled to avoid sticking.

3. Grilled Chicken:

Remove the chicken breasts once the grill has been heated up. Let any excess marinade drip down. Place the breasts on the grill, and cook them for 5-7 minutes each side or until they reach 165degF. To get the perfect grill marks, flip your chicken breasts only once.

You can toast the buns while your chicken is grilling. Place them cut-side down on the grill and cook for 1-2 mins until golden brown. It adds some flavour and crunch to your sandwich.

4. Sandwiches:

Assemble your Grilled Chicken sandwich once the buns have been toasted and the chicken has been cooked. Begin with the bottom of the toasted bread. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. Top the bun with the grilled breast of chicken, some slices of tomato, pickles, and lettuce.

The sandwich is now ready!

5. Enjoy and Serve:

Now, you can enjoy your Chick-fil-A grilled chicken sandwich! Serve it with your favourite fries or a salad to make a healthier choice. This sandwich will satisfy your desire for a healthy, delicious chicken sandwich, whether you serve it as a lunch or dinner meal or even a quick snack on the run.

Grilled chicken sandwich: Tips and tricks for the perfect sandwich

• Avoid overcooking the chicken. This will ensure that the meat remains juicy and tender. A meat thermometer is the best tool to use when checking for doneness. The internal temperature should be 165degF.
• Maximize Flavor by Marinating: 30 minutes is sufficient, but allowing the chicken to absorb the flavours for longer will make a sandwich that’s much more flavorful. If possible, marinate the chicken for at least 1-2 hours or overnight.
• Add some spice: If you enjoy a little heat in your food, you can add cayenne to the marinade or drizzle spicy mayo or hot sauce on top of your sandwich after it is assembled.
• Grill marks are important: Do not flip the chicken more than once to achieve those trademark grill marks. For best results, let each side cook without interruption.
• Add your favourite toppings to your sandwich. Add cheese, avocado or bacon to your sandwich for more flavour.
