Serves: 4
Make these chicken sandwiches sweet or spicy by using a blend of your favorite BBQ sauces.
Ingredients
- 4 sandwich rolls, French or sourdough
- 2 chicken breasts
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ of a red onion, sliced
- Grated Monterey Jack cheese
- A blend of your favorite BBQ sauces
- Spicy mustard, optional
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to roughly ½-inch thickness. (I have to admit that I sometimes skip this step if I am really in a hurry, but it really is better when the chicken breasts are thin and tender.)
- Place the chicken breasts on a broiling pan and sprinkle them with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
- Broil the chicken for 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and broil the breasts for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is done. (Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken pieces.)
- Cut the chicken into strips.
- Mix the BBQ sauces in bowl and stir in some spicy mustard if you want an extra kick.
- Slice open the sandwich rolls and place them on a baking sheet.
- Spread a couple spoonfuls of sauce on each half of the bread.
- Then, toss the cooked chicken strips with the remaining sauce.
- Arrange a quarter of the chicken strips on the bottom half of each sandwich roll. Sprinkle sliced onion on each of the sandwiches and then top them with a handful of grated Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake the sandwiches at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt. Finish by broiling them for a couple of minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the bread is lightly toasted.
