Chicken

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest.

Pimento Cheese Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated sharp cheddar cheese, chopped pimentos, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the sourdough bread slices lightly. Spread a generous amount of pimento cheese on two slices of bread. Top with grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato slices, and zucchini pickles. Place the remaining slices of bread on top to complete the sandwich.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sandwich with kettle chips on the side and any remaining house-made pickles for a delightful crunch.
