Sandwich Components

Spiced Chicken

Spicy Aioli

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove and let rest before slicing.

Making the Spicy Aioli

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice until well combined. Adjust seasoning with more sriracha if desired.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Build the Sandwich

    Slice the pretzel buns in half. Spread a generous amount of spicy aioli on both halves. Layer with arugula, sliced tomato, a piece of spiced chicken, a slice of Swiss cheese, and crispy shallots. Close the sandwich and serve.
