Chicken and Marinade

Toppings

Method

Marinating Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

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

  3. 5

    Add Cheese and Bacon

    During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place a slice of fontina cheese on top of each chicken breast and add the bacon slices to the grill. Cook until the cheese is melted and the bacon is crispy.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Rolls

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the brioche rolls in half and toast them lightly on the grill.

  2. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche roll, place a generous amount of arugula. Top with the grilled chicken breast, crispy bacon, and a spoonful of sundried tomato aioli. Cover with the top half of the roll.
