  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 2 lb chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

For the Sandwich

  • 6 brioche buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Lettuce leaves (for topping)
  • Red onions, sliced (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
  2. Marinate Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 1 hour to infuse flavors.
  3. Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest briefly.
  5. Toast Buns: Lightly spray the brioche buns with cooking spray and toast them on the grill cut-side down for approximately 30 seconds until golden and slightly crispy.
  6. Assemble Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise evenly on both the top and bottom halves of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce leaves, the grilled chicken breast, sliced tomato, and red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
  7. Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm and enjoy the perfect balance of smoky grilled flavors and fresh toppings.

Notes

  • Pounding the chicken to an even thickness ensures it cooks evenly and remains juicy.
  • You can substitute brioche buns with any preferred sandwich bread or rolls.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain juices.
  • Adjust the amount of mayonnaise or add other condiments according to taste preference.
  • If you don’t have a grill, the chicken can be cooked on a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
