Instructions
-
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
-
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
-
Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
-
Grill chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
-
While chicken is grilling, lightly toast the split buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
-
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a spread.
-
To assemble the sandwiches: Spread the mayonnaise-Dijon mixture on both halves of each toasted bun.
-
Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom bun. If using, add a slice of cheese on top of the hot chicken to melt slightly.
-
Layer with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
-
Place the top bun on the sandwich and serve immediately.
