chicken sandwich marinade

Easy and delicious, this is the best EVER grilled chicken sandwich. The honey Dijon marinade makes chicken perfectly moist and flavorful!

Grilled Chicken Sandwich

chicken breasts

olive oil

honey

lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)

Dijon mustard

smoked paprika

garlic powder

salt

black pepper

whole wheat hamburger buns

non-fat plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise, Dijon mustard,

cheddar cheese (or Swiss or aged cheddar cheese)

RIPE tomatoes (or swap sun-dried tomatoes)

lettuce, spinach, or arugula

red onions (or Pickled Onions or dill pickles, optional)

Pound

Marinate the chicken: Lightly pound the chicken into an even, 1/2-inch thickness (I place a sheet of plastic over the top first for easy cleanup). Place in a large ziptop bag or a shallow dish for marinating.

Marinate

Add the oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the chicken. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours. (If marinating for more than 30 minutes, rotate the chicken once or twice throughout.)

Grill

When ready to cook, heat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill (or an indoor grill pan) to medium-high, about 375°F. Grill the chicken for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. When the chicken is nearing the end of its cooking time, place a slice of cheese on top to melt it. The chicken is done when it reaches 155 to 160°F on an instant read thermometer (chicken is considered safe to eat at 165°F, but its temperature will rise as it rests. DO NOT overcook or the chicken will be dry).

Rest

Toast

If desired, place the buns cut-sides down on the grill to toast (or toast them briefly under the oven’s broiler, cut-sides up).

Assemble

Assemble the sandwiches: spread the cut side of the bottom bun with Greek yogurt and/or Dijon mustard and/or mayo. Top with lettuce and tomato. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, then add the chicken and onion (or place the chicken on first; just know the bottom bun will get a little soggy). Add the top bun and onions if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Easy and delicious best EVER grilled chicken sandwich with a honey and Dijon marinade. The chicken is perfectly moist and tender every time!

Lemon-garlic marinated chicken breasts get deliciously juicy on the grill, and they turn into mouthwatering sandwiches with ciabatta buns, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes!

Grilled Chicken Sandwich Recipe

boneless, skinless chicken breasts

olive oil (extra virgin preferred)

lemon (juiced)

garlic (minced)

thyme

oregano

sandwich rolls

cheddar cheese

bacon

tomato (sliced)

lettuce

mayonnaise

mustard

With a knife parallel to the work surface, cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, creating 4 thin breasts. If necessary, place the breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound each to about ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large Ziplock bag. Add the chicken, seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the meat. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for 3-24 hours.

When ready to cook, oil the grates of a grill and preheat it to high. Grill the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reached 165°F.

Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest for 10 minutes, then build sandwiches on rolls with your favorite toppings and serve.
