Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Grilled chicken breast can be boring, but if you marinate it and add other flavors and textures, you’ll have a recipe for success. This combination of pickle-brined chicken breast, zesty slaw, and spicy mayo is so good and easy for weeknight dinners or weekend cookouts. Plus, it’s high in protein. If you love a good sandwich, make sure to try my Pulled Pork, Air Fryer Chicken Sandwich, Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Avocado and Tomato, and Air Fried Shrimp Sandwich.
Ingredients
Chicken Breast: Four six-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts with the tenderloin removed Grilled Chicken Marinade: All you need is pickle juice! Grilled Chicken Seasoning: Garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper Slaw: Thinly sliced red and green cabbage, shredded carrots, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, red wine vinegar Spicy Mayo: Sriracha, mayonnaise Pickles: Top each sandwich with dill pickle chips. Bread: I love a whole wheat potato roll for a chicken sandwich, but any whole wheat bun or roll will work.
How to Make a Grilled Chicken Sandwich
What to Serve with Grilled Chicken Sandwiches
Serve this easy grilled chicken sandwich with air fryer sweet potato fries, macaroni salad, coleslaw or potato salad, or for some lighter options, go with a cucumber salad or corn salad.
How to Store Grilled Chicken Sandwiches
Grilled chicken will last up to four days in the fridge. Store the sandwich ingredients separately and assemble them before eating for the best results. You can toast the bread and microwave the chicken if you prefer a warm sandwich.
What toppings are good on a chicken sandwich?
The toppings are what take this grilled chicken sandwich from basic to amazing. I topped mine with spicy mayo, dill pickles, and coleslaw with a red wine vinaigrette.
Variations
Spicy Chicken Sandwich: For more heat, add extra sriracha. If you’re not a spice fan, decrease the sriracha or just use plain mayo. Slaw: To save time, buy a bag of coleslaw mix instead of prepping the cabbage and carrots.
