Honey-Citrus Chicken Sandwiches Recipe

10 10 20

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6 slices Monterey Jack or Muenster cheese, optional
  • 6 kaiser rolls, split
  • 6 thin tomato slices
  • 6 red onion slices
  • Shredded lettuce

Directions

  • Flatten chicken breast evenly to 1/4-in. thickness; set aside. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the orange and lemon juices, honey, oil, mustard, poultry seasoning and cayenne pepper. Add chicken breasts; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
  • Drain; discard marinade. Grill, uncovered, over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until juices run clear. If desired, top each chicken breast with a slice of cheese and grill 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese begins to melt. Serve on rolls with tomato, onion and lettuce. Yield: 6 servings.
