Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Grill the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

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

  3. 5

    Baste with BBQ Sauce

    During the last few minutes of grilling, baste each piece of chicken with BBQ sauce and add a slice of Monterey Jack and a slice of Cheddar cheese on top to melt.

Assemble Sandwiches

  1. 6

    Toast Brioche Buns

    While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build Sandwich

    Once the chicken is cooked and cheese is melted, place each piece of chicken on the bottom half of a toasted brioche bun. Top with sliced tomatoes, red onions, and additional BBQ sauce if desired. Place the top half of the bun on.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwiches warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
