Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts (or 4 thin cutlets)
2T olive oil
1t garlic powder

1/2t pepper

For sandwiches:
4 buns (ciabatta works great!)
Lettuce
Tomato slices
Cheese (cheddar, provolone, swiss)
Mayo, Mustard, or Aioli

Prep the chicken - slide in half horizontally to make thinner pieces.

Drizzle olive oil over chicken - then season with garlic powder, paprika, italian seasoning, Salt, pepper.  Let sit 10-20 minutes 

Heat grill to medium-high heat.  Cook chicken 4-6 minutes per side. Internal temp should be 165.
Add cheese last minute - close lid to melt.

Lightly toast buns on grill for 1-2 minutes
