Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Buns & Toppings

Instructions

  1. Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken breasts evenly.
  2. Season Chicken: Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season both sides evenly with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor.
  3. Cook Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill or skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) indicating the chicken is safely cooked through.
