Indulge in a delightful and savory Grilled BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Cheddar Cheese—an easy-to-make, wholesome meal perfect for lunch or dinner. This recipe brings together the smokiness of BBQ sauce, the creamy richness of cheddar cheese, and the satisfying texture of whole-wheat bread to create a harmonious and delicious sandwich experience.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the chicken breast on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Once rested, slice the chicken breast thinly.
- While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the slices of whole-wheat bread on the grill. This should take about 1-2 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Place one slice of toasted whole-wheat bread on a clean surface.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce evenly over the slice.
- Layer the sliced grilled chicken breast over the BBQ sauce.
- Add the 1 oz of cheddar cheese on top of the chicken slices.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce evenly over the cheddar cheese.
- Top with the second slice of toasted whole-wheat bread.
- (Optional) Return the assembled sandwich to the grill. Grill for an additional 1-2 minutes per side, just until the cheddar cheese has melted and the bread is golden-brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove the sandwich from the grill and let it sit for a minute. Slice it in half if desired and serve warm.
Tips:
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken breast in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breast to an even thickness before grilling.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread slices lightly for extra crunch and texture.
- Add some fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomato, or onions for additional flavor and nutrition.
- Consider using a grill pan if an outdoor grill is not available, to still get those nice grill marks and flavor.
