Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Stephanie Gallagher
This grilled chicken sandwich makes a great light dinner or a tasty lunch. The chicken is marinated briefly before grilling, so it's nice and tender. Be sure to use chicken scallopine (thinly-sliced chicken breasts) or pound them to a thickness of 1/4-inch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. chicken breasts (or thinly-pounded chicken breasts)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1-3 dashes hot sauce, to taste (optional)
  • lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, sandwich buns

Preparation:

  1. Pound chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/4-inch. In order for the chicken to cook evenly, the breasts should be the same thickness.

    If using chicken scallopine (thinly-pounded chicken breasts), skip this step.


  2. Whisk together remaining ingredients. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Cover with marinade. Seal, and turn to coat chicken well.

  3. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes.

  4. Prepare grill or heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.

  5. When grill or grill pan is hot, add chicken breasts (discard marinade). Grill until done, 2-4 minutes per side, depending on how thick the chicken breasts are.

Serve with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, if desired, on sandwich rolls.
