Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place two slices of pepper jack cheese on each chicken breast and cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and place each piece on a hamburger bun. Drizzle with buffalo sauce if desired, and top with lettuce and tomato slices.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Close the buns, serve immediately, and enjoy your Chicken Melt!
