How to Make Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.

Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.

Step 2: Prepare Mustard Aioli and Chipotle Ranch
Mix mayonnaise with Dijon and coarse mustard for the aioli.

For the chipotle ranch, blend mayonnaise, buttermilk, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic, green onions, and seasonings.

Step 3: Cook the Turkey Bacon
In a skillet, cook turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy.

Set aside on paper towels.

Step 4: Grill the Chicken
Heat the grill to medium-high.

Grill chicken for 3–5 minutes per side until cooked through.

Top each piece with cheddar cheese during the last minute to melt.

Step 5: Toast the Brioche Buns
Lightly butter and toast buns on the grill until golden.

Step 6: Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mustard aioli on the bottom bun.

Add grilled chicken with melted cheese, turkey bacon, tomato, red onion, avocado, and a handful of spring mix tossed with chipotle ranch.

Top with the second bun.

What to Serve It With

Sweet potato fries

Crunchy coleslaw

Pickle spears

Fresh lemonade or iced tea

Variations / Substitutions

Different Breads: Try ciabatta, pretzel buns, or sourdough.

Alternative Cheeses: Swap cheddar for Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack.

More Heat: Add jalapeños or extra adobo sauce.

Vegetarian Twist: Use grilled portobello mushrooms instead of chicken.

Storage & Leftovers

Separate Storage: Keep chicken, bacon, and veggies separate to avoid sogginess.

Fridge: Store grilled chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat Gently: Warm the chicken and bacon before assembling leftovers.

Assemble Fresh: Always assemble sandwiches just before serving for best results.

FAQs About Grilled Chicken Sandwiches

Can I use regular bacon?
Absolutely! Use your favorite crispy bacon if preferred.

Can I bake the chicken instead of grilling?
Yes! Bake at 400°F until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

How spicy is the chipotle ranch?
It’s mildly spicy, but you can adjust by adding more or less adobo sauce.

What’s a good substitute for buttermilk?
Mix milk with a splash of lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes to mimic buttermilk.

Can I prepare the sauces ahead of time?
Definitely! Both mustard aioli and chipotle ranch can be made a day in advance.
