Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add chicken breasts to the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for a few hours for better flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.
- Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- During the last minute of grilling, add the cheese slices on top of the chicken to melt.
- Toast the sandwich rolls on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each toasted roll.
- Layer the grilled chicken, mixed greens, tomato, red onion, and bacon (if using) on top, then close the sandwich with the other half of the roll.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious grilled chicken sandwich!
Notes
For added flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight. Feel free to customize toppings to your liking.
