Grilled Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Make the Honey Whiskey Sauce

   In a small saucepan, combine honey and whiskey. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer, then reduce the heat and let it thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Grill the Chicken

   Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the honey whiskey sauce over the chicken.

4. 4

   Add Cheese and Bacon

   In the last minute of grilling, place pepper jack cheese slices on top of the chicken and close the grill lid. Cook until the cheese is melted. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Toast the locally-made buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes. On the bottom bun, spread garden aioli, then layer with lettuce, grilled chicken with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slices, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with your favorite side.
