Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp oregano
salt and pepper
sandwich buns
optional toppings
Instructions
1. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper, then coat chicken evenly and marinate for at least 20–30 minutes
2. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat and place chicken, cooking for 5–6 minutes per side without moving too much at first
3. Check that chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside, then remove and let it rest for a few minutes to keep juices inside
4. Lightly toast sandwich buns while the chicken rests
5. Slice chicken evenly and assemble sandwich with preferred toppings
6. Serve immediately while warm for best texture
Notes
Marinating even for a short time improves flavor noticeably
Use medium heat to avoid burning the outside before the inside cooks
Let chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy
Reheat chicken gently if needed to prevent drying out
