  • 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
  • Hot Sauce - to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder

  • Heat nonstick fry pan over medium/high heat. Add a drizzle of oil.

  • Mix mayo, hot sauce and chili powder. Slather mayo onto top and bottom buns.
  • Place chicken breasts onto bottom buns. Top with tomatoes, lettuce and top bun. Serve.

Notes

For a warmed bun: I use a mesh splatter screen when cooking the chicken breast. The last minute I place the buns on top of the screen to warm/steam them. You can also warm the buns in a 250ºF oven for 2-3 minutes if preferred.
