SANTA FE GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH (CARL'S JR. COPYCAT)



Santa Fe Grilled Chicken Sandwich (Carl's Jr. Copycat) image

Provided by Rachel Farnsworth

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 hamburger buns
4 slices pepper jack cheese
4 whole green chile peppers (from can, patted dry)
Lettuce

Steps:

  • Pound out each of the chicken breasts so that they are a fairly even thickness throughout. Marinate the chicken by combining the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, and crushed garlic in a resealable plastic bag with the chicken breasts. Marinade for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
  • Make the sauce by combining the mayo, paprika, cayenne, curry powder, and salt in a bowl and mixing it up.
  • Grill the chicken for about 5-8 minutes each side. Actual time will depend on the thickness of your meat. The chicken is done when it is firm to the touch. Place the pepper jack slices on each piece of chicken during the last minute or so of cooking so it can melt.
  • Grill the buns face-side down for just a minute or two so that they are toasted. Spread the mayo mixture on the face of each bun. Top with cheese smothered chicken, green chili, and lettuce.

SANTA FE CHICKEN

This is an adaptation of a recipe that I found on Dr. Weil's website. Great on the grill even though the original recipe called for broiling the meat. Cooking time includes marinating time.
