Marinated chicken breasts are grilled until tender, topped with a quick homemade honey mustard sauce, and finished with our favorite fresh toppings.
Ingredients For Grilled Chicken Sandwiches
Chicken: Use boneless skinless chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs in this recipe. Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness and if they’re extra large, they can be cut in half. Marinade: The marinade is made with a light-flavored oil, such as vegetable oil or olive oil. Cider vinegar tenderizes the chicken, while brown sugar helps it caramelize. Buns: I love either toasted hamburger buns or brioche. If you’re feeling fancy, you can brush the buns with garlic butter before toasting. Sauce: The sauce is a simple homemade honey mustard style sauce and it’s delicious. You can add any sauce you’d like BBQ sauce or aioli.

Tips for Success
Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to ½-inch thickness. Marinate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Any longer than that and the meat won’t have the same consistency after cooking since the marinade will start to “cook” the meat. Cook grilled chicken breast just until the chicken reaches 165°F. To broil in the oven, adjust the rack to 4 inches below the broiler. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side.
