Zesty Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sandwich rolls or buns
- 4 slices of your choice of cheese (e.g., provolone or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
- Sliced tomatoes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

2. Grill the Chicken:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In the last few minutes of grilling, place a slice of cheese on each chicken breast to melt.

3. Prepare the Rolls:
- While the chicken is grilling, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Optionally, lightly toast the sandwich rolls on the grill until golden.

4. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both halves of each roll.
- Place a chicken breast on the bottom half of each roll.
- Top with slices of avocado, a handful of mixed greens, and sliced tomatoes.
- Place the top half of the roll onto the sandwich to complete.

5. Serve:
- Present the sandwiches immediately with your choice of side, such as a light salad or potato chips.
