Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Melt

    Once the chicken is cooked, place 2 slices of American cheese on each chicken breast and cover the grill for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each brioche bun, spread 2 tablespoons of hatch chili aioli. Add the grilled chicken with melted cheese, followed by crispy bacon, lettuce, and sliced tomato.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the brioche bun and serve immediately while hot.
