Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces Tomatoes, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the lime mayo by mixing mayonnaise and lime zest in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toast the burger buns: Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the inside of each bun and place them on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
Once the chicken is cooked, top each breast with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt slightly on the grill.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the lime mayo on both the top and bottom buns. Place a piece of grilled chicken with melted cheese on the bottom bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and a few red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
