Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salsa Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and salsa. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once cooked, remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, place the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly toasted.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer the lettuce, sliced tomato, and onion. Place the grilled chicken breast on top, followed by a slice of pepper jack cheese. Spoon the salsa mayo generously over the cheese, then cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired, serve immediately, and enjoy!
