We wanted to share a delicious grilled chicken sandwich recipe.
It’s great to prepare ahead of time and toss on the grill for guests when tailgating. Prep the chicken and add to the marinade in a tightly sealed container and take it along or stash it in the fridge until dinner time.
Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or freezer bag. Add chicken and toss well to combine. Marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Place chicken on the grill for 5-6 minutes per side until no pink remains and the chicken reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, brush buns with olive oil and place them face down on the grill. Lightly toast.
Spread each bun with honey mustard and add lettuce, tomatoes, and onions if desired. Top with chicken and serve.
The best chicken sandwich is simple to make, tender, juicy, flavorful, and topped with fresh goodies! Add crisp bacon, or make it spicy with your favorite sauce toppings. It’s nearly impossible to mess this one up. We love the lightly toasted sesame bun, and the marinade is to die for, with its delicious combo of zesty and sweet.
Recipe Note
Buns:
This recipe calls for a toasted sesame bun, but feel free to sub it out with any of your favorites, like buttery brioche. Or whip up some homemade garlic bread or even jalapeno cheddar bread, and serve it up sandwich-style.
Sauce:
We love how the honey mustard sauce perfectly complements the chicken, but this marinade is so versatile that any sauce will pair well with it. Try sriracha, BBQ ,homemade mayo, or whatever strikes your fancy!
