Copycat Grilled Chicken Club (Chick-fil-A’s style)

An American dinner built around chicken breast and lemon juice — on the table in 30 minutes. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 48 grams of protein per serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 12 oz Chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 Multigrain brioche buns
• 2 slices Light Colby jack cheese
• 2 slices Turkey bacon
• 2 leaves Green leaf lettuce
• 2 slices Tomato
• 1 tsp Honey
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard

Steps

1. Marinate the chicken in lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper 20 minutes — the lemon-herb marinade is the flavor backbone here.
2. Grill over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes per side until char marks show and the center hits 165°F; rest it 5 minutes before slicing or the juices run.
3. Crisp the turkey bacon in a dry skillet until it shatters at the edges.
4. Whisk the honey and Dijon into a quick honey-roasted sauce and spread it on the toasted multigrain buns.
5. Melt the cheese over the hot chicken in the last minute of resting, tented.
6. Build: sauce, lettuce, tomato, chicken, bacon, crown — lettuce under the tomato keeps the bun from going soft.
