Hello All! It has been quite awhile since I last wrote a post! I really have been unmotivated to make anything new with this gloomy Wisconsin weather, but finally there has been some sunshine. Once the sun is shining, I like to bring out the grill!
A few days ago I made these amazing BBQ chicken sandwiches with melted gruyere cheese. I love a tangy BBQ sauce made with vinegar and dijon mustard. I have yet to find really good bottled BBQ sauce (without high fructose corn syrup), which is fine since this homemade sauce was so easy to make and delicious.
Alright, let me tell you about these sandwiches! The chicken was grilled and juicy - perfect. They were messy, which I think is a requirement for a tasty sandwich. The sauce was so good, that I kept dipping my sandwich in it. I melted gruyere cheese on top, which is similar to swiss cheese, but you can put any or no cheese on top if you like. I toasted a whole wheat bun and added a tomato. Obviously, you can add any toppings that you would like. Make sure you save your leftover BBQ sauce to dip your sandwiches in. Next time I make this, I plan on doubling the BBQ sauce recipe and putting half of it in a mason jar to keep handy in my fridge. Please make these sandwiches, you will regret it if you don't!
BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
(makes 4 sandwiches)
Ingredients -
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
4 hamburger buns toasted
1 tomato
4 slices gruyere cheese (or any cheese)
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Put the chicken breasts in a glass baking dish and rub in the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a medium size bowl, combine all of the ingredients from ketchup to the worcestershire sauce and give it a good stir. Pour some of the BBQ sauce on top of the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to eat, start the grill to medium heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. When turning to the second side, add some more BBQ sauce. At the last minute add the cheese and let it melt. Assemble your sandwiches to your liking.
Enjoy and happy grilling!
