Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Marinade
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Chutney Sauce
- 1/2 cup mango chutney (store-bought or homemade)

Sandwich Assembly
- 4 sub rolls, split and toasted
- 1 cup lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Grill or pan-fry chicken over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Slice into thin strips.

Notes
- You can swap mango chutney for apricot or peach chutney for a slightly different flavor.
- For extra heat, add a few slices of fresh jalapeño or a pinch of chili flakes to the chutney sauce.
- Great with sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad on the side.
