Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    Make the Root Beer Glaze

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in the root beer and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    While the glaze is thickening, cook the applewood bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, brush it generously with the root beer glaze on both sides.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of the burger bun, place the glazed chicken breast, top with crispy bacon, a slice of white cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Add the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches with a side of french fries, chips, or green beans.
