Juicy grilled cutlets fill toasted buns with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato and a quick lemon-mustard mayonnaise.
Evenly pounded cutlets keep Grilled Chicken Sandwiches easy to bite and quick to cook. A simple smoky rub gives the chicken enough flavor to stand up to the cool, tangy sauce.
Choose buns with a soft center and toast only the cut faces. Very crusty bread can squeeze the filling out, while untoasted bread quickly absorbs the chicken juices.
Method
Heat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F (220°C). Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Rub chicken breast cutlets with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Grill for per side until marked and 165°F in the center.
Toast the hamburger buns cut-side down on the cooler part of the grill for until lightly golden.
Spread the sauce on the buns, add lettuce leaves and tomato, then layer in the chicken and serve.
Forkue tips
