- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 mini buns
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or a skillet to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture evenly on both sides.
- Grill or cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juicy. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
- While the chicken is resting, mix the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on the cut sides of the mini buns.
- Layer the bottom halves of the buns with a few slices of grilled chicken and top with shredded lettuce. Place the top halves of the buns over the lettuce to complete the sandwiches.
- Arrange the mini chicken sandwiches on a rustic wooden platter for serving. Optionally, provide a small bowl of extra mayo on the side for those who love a bit more creaminess.
Helpful Tips
- For an extra kick, add a slice of pickled jalapeño to each sandwich.
- If you prefer a healthier version, swap the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- To save time, use a rotisserie chicken and simply slice the meat.
- Add a slice of cheese for a more indulgent sandwich.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To refresh them, reheat slightly in a skillet or oven.
