Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken breasts. Look for breasts that are plump and have a slight pink tint to them.
To ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
When caramelizing the onions, be patient and cook them over low heat. This will allow them to develop their full flavor without burning.
If you don't have watercress, you can substitute arugula or baby spinach.
To make the paprika aioli, simply whisk together mayonnaise, paprika, lemon juice, and garlic powder. You can adjust the proportions to taste.

Conclusion:

These chicken breast sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The combination of caramelized onions, watercress, and paprika aioli makes for a flavorful and satisfying sandwich. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give these chicken breast sandwiches a try!
