How to Make Spicy Grilled Chicken Sandwiches

  1. Pat 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Place chicken breasts in the bowl and coat thoroughly with the spice mixture. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While chicken grills, toast your rolls.
  6. Spread honey mustard on the toasted rolls.
  7. Layer grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices (optional) on the bottom bun.
  8. Top with the other bun and serve immediately.
