Description

This Grilled Chicken Sandwich recipe offers a deliciously marinated chicken breast grilled to perfection and served on toasted buns. The chicken is flavored with a blend of garlic, soy sauce, honey, and spices, making a juicy and flavorful sandwich perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner.

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey

To Serve

  • 4 whole grain or brioche buns
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • Desired veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion – optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, coating them thoroughly. Cover and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
  3. Preheat grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F, ensuring it is hot and ready for cooking.
  4. Grill chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side. Grill until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F, indicating the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  5. Toast buns: Place the buns on the grill for a short time, until they turn golden brown and slightly crisp, adding a delicious texture to the sandwich.
  6. Assemble sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise on the toasted buns, add the grilled chicken breasts, and top with your choice of fresh veggies such as lettuce, tomato, or onion. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes but no more than 4 hours to avoid texture changes.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Optional veggies such as lettuce, tomato, and onion add freshness and crunch to the sandwich.
  • Whole grain buns provide more fiber and nutrients, while brioche buns give a richer flavor.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with a healthier spread, like Greek yogurt mixed with herbs, if desired.
