Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill or heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season them generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts on the grill or skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If you prefer crispy chicken, you can also bread and fry the chicken instead.

Add Buffalo Sauce
Once the chicken is cooked, toss it in buffalo sauce until it is well coated.

Melt the Cheese
Top each piece of chicken with two slices of pepper jack cheese, cover, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Add Jalapenos
Finally, add pickled jalapenos to taste for extra spice, then place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
