Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken rests, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 6

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato, the grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, pickles, and a generous spread of honey mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Spicy Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich immediately with your favorite side.
