Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices
• 4 red onion slices
• 4 pickles

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the chicken to coat it evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for better flavor.
3. Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
4. Grill or cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the burger buns.
6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice each chicken breast into thin slices.
7. To assemble the sandwiches, spread the tangy sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, a red onion slice, pickle, and a generous amount of sliced chicken. Place the top bun on and press gently to hold everything together.
8. Serve the chicken sandwiches with zang immediately and enjoy!
