Chick Fil A Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Description
This recipe starts by marinating boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced thin and pounded flat in a mixture of dill pickle juice and buttermilk. This combination tenderizes the chicken and imparts subtle tanginess. After marinating for at least 30 minutes, a seasoning blend of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery salt is sprinkled evenly on both sides.
The chicken is then grilled over medium-high heat, oiled grill grates ensuring no sticking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, producing a juicy interior with slight char. Meanwhile, hamburger buns are brushed with non-stick spray and toasted under the broiler just until golden brown on the cut side, adding a light crisp texture.
The sandwich assembly includes a leaf of fresh lettuce and two slices of tomato atop the bottom bun, followed by the grilled chicken breast, finished with the bun top. This layered construction balances the warm, flavorful chicken with crisp vegetables and soft, toasted buns, making a well-rounded grilled chicken sandwich.
Ingredients
Grilled Chicken Breast
- 2 large chicken breast sliced in half horizontally and pounded thin, boneless skinless
- ½ cup dill pickle juice
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon celery salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil to brush the grill
Sandwich
- 4 multigrain hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce washed, leaf
- 8 lices tomato ripe
Instructions
- Place the chicken, dill pickle juice, and buttermilk in a zip-top bag. Place the bag in the fridge, and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for several hours.
- Prepare the seasoning blend by combing salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery salt in a small bowl. Season chicken with the seasoning blend on both sides of the chicken.
- Heat the grill to 350°F or use a grill pan. Brush the grill with oil.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165°F when you remove it from the grill.
- Spray a bit of non-stick spray on the insides of the hamburger buns.
- Place the buns cut-side up under a broiler on high heat until they just brown. This should take only about 30 to 45 seconds depending on your broiler.
- To build the sandwich, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by two tomato slices, and the grilled chicken. Place the top bun over the chicken.
