MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH RECIPE

Marinated Grilled Chicken Sandwich Recipe image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 hamburger buns
6 lettuce leaves - optional
2 tomatoes (sliced) - optional
1 cup dill pickle slices - optional
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise - optional
2 avocados (sliced) - optional

Steps:

Mix together the oil, honey, lime juice, chile powder, and cumin in a ziploc bag. Place chicken inside, zip bag closed, and make sure that chicken is fully coated by marinade. Place bag of chicken in the fridge and let marinade for at least 30 minutes (I actually let mine go for about 2 hours- but you could even let it go for 8-10 hours for really flavorful meat!).
Remove chicken from fridge and preheat grill to medium high heat. Grill the chicken for a couple of minutes on each side, turning once, until the chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
If you want, you can toast your buns on the grill.
Top with your favorite toppings.
