Instructions
Prepare the Garlic Aioli
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth. Refrigerate while preparing the sandwich ingredients.
Season the Chicken
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Toast the Buns
- Lightly toast the brioche buns in a skillet or oven until slightly golden.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread garlic aioli on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, cooked chicken breast, tomato slices, pickles, and any additional toppings.
Finish and Serve
- Spread more aioli on the top bun, close the sandwich, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Pound chicken breasts slightly to ensure even cooking.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Toasting the buns prevents them from becoming soggy.
