Cheddar Chicken Sandwich Recipes

RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
• Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
• Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
• While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
• When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
• Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

GRILLED CHEDDAR-CHICKEN FILLET SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the seasoned salt and the pepper.
• In medium bowl, toss onion and mushrooms with remaining 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt and the oil until vegetables are coated. Place vegetables in grill basket (grill "wok").
• Place chicken and grill basket on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 15 minutes, occasionally turning and brushing chicken with 2 tablespoons of the mustard-mayonnaise sauce and shaking grill basket to mix vegetables, until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are tender. Add bread slices to grill for last 4 minutes of cooking, turning once, until crisp.
• Top each cooked chicken breast with vegetables and cheese slice. Cover grill; cook until cheese is melted. Spread one side of bread slices with remaining mustard-mayonnaise sauce. Top each bread slice with chicken breast.
