Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 pieces Red onion slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the honey mustard glaze.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking.
Place the chicken breasts on a broiler-safe baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts generously with the honey mustard glaze.
Place the chicken under the broiler and cook for 6-7 minutes, then flip the chicken breasts over, brush with more glaze, and broil for another 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast and let it melt.
While the chicken is broiling, toast the sandwich buns lightly in a toaster or oven, if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a broiled chicken breast with melted cheese, 2 slices of tomato, and a slice of red onion.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
