This grilled chicken sandwich recipe features tender, marinated chicken breasts grilled to perfection and served on toasted buns with a flavorful honey mustard sauce and fresh toppings. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal, the marinade blends tangy apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar to infuse the chicken with savory and slightly sweet notes.

  • Total Time: 1 hour (including marinating time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 small breasts)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Sandwich Components

  • 4 hamburger buns (or brioche rolls)
  • ¼ cup honey mustard sauce (or mayonnaise)
  • Toppings as desired: lettuce, tomatoes, onions
  • Olive oil (for brushing buns)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken using the flat side of a meat mallet until it reaches about ½-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
  2. Make and apply marinade: In a bowl or freezer bag, combine the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken breasts in the marinade until fully coated. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to develop flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F, to prepare for cooking the chicken.
  4. Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Toast the buns: While the chicken is grilling, brush the cut sides of the hamburger buns with olive oil. Place them cut-side down on the grill and toast until they are lightly browned.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of honey mustard sauce on the toasted buns. Add lettuce, tomatoes, onions, or your preferred toppings. Top with the grilled chicken breasts and serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying sandwich.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for longer if time permits for deeper flavor.
  • Use brioche rolls for a richer, slightly sweet taste.
  • Adjust toppings based on preference; avocado or cheese can also be great additions.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F to avoid foodborne illness.
