Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the finely chopped jalapenos, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each chicken breast and cover with a lid to melt.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sandwich Rolls

    Slice the toasted sandwich rolls in half and spread mayonnaise on the inside if desired.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a cooked chicken breast with melted cheddar on the bottom half of each roll. Top with lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes. Cover with the top half of the roll.
