Grilled Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Grilled Chicken Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In a saucepan, add the sliced onions and Guinness. Cook over medium heat until the onions are caramelized and the liquid is reduced, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    While the onions are cooking, in a separate skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the chicken is done, place it on the toasted bun. Top with a slice of Swiss cheese, the Guinness onions, and bacon. Cover with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken sandwich warm with your favorite side.
