- 6 toasted kaiser rolls split
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- 12 thick slices of ripe tomato
- 6 crisp lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Start by seasoning your chicken breasts. Combine olive oil with celery seasoning salt, roasted garlic salt, lemon zest seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, and chipotle pepper in a large bowl.
Step 2: Marinate
Once well-combined, add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial; it allows the flavors to seep into the chicken.
Step 4: Prepare the Rolls
Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich
- Use Bone-In Chicken: For those who like more flavor, try bone-in chicken breasts. They tend to be juicier when cooked.
- Adjust Spice Levels: If heat isn’t your thing, reduce or skip the chipotle pepper in the marinade.
- Marinating Time: For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Meal Prep: Cook extra chicken and store for easy future meals.
- Homemade Buns: If you’re feeling adventurous, consider making your own rolls for that gourmet touch.
