When you are preparing your chicken to put in the marinade, pierce the chicken with a fork. Piercing the chicken with a fork all over helps the marinade to seep in. This allows the chicken to be juicy and full of flavor.

We recommend marinating the chicken for at last 30 minutes or overnight.

Make sure your grill stays at a temperature of 425 degrees. If the grill gets to hot then the chicken will stick. Grill each side of the chicken breast for about 4 minutes.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich Tips:

  • Pounding the Meat – When we grill chicken, we like to make sure that each chicken breast is the same size and thickness. This ensure that that the chicken gets done at the same time. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken thin.

  • Bake Chicken – If you do not want to grill your chicken, you can bake it. Use your broiler for the last 5 minutes to get that crispy topping.

You can store the leftover chicken in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. It’s best to store the chicken separately instead of storing the assembled sandwiches.
