RECIPE:

chicken:

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • ½ cup dill pickle juice

  • ¼ cup whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

honey roasted bbq sauce:

  • 1 cup light mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup sugar free sweet bbq sauce

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

assemble:

  • 4 slices pepper jack or Colby jack cheese

  • 4 multigrain buns

  • Green leaf lettuce

  • Beefsteak tomato slices

  • 4 slices thick cut applewood smoked bacon cooked crispy- center cut


  • Cut the breasts in half lengthwise, set aside.

  • In a large bowl whisk together the pickle juice, milk, powdered sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and paprika.

  • Add the chicken to the marinade and coat the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.

  • While the chicken is marinating, make the sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, bbq sauce, honey, dijon, lemon juice, and paprika. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to use.

  • Preheat the grill over medium heat. Cook the chicken, flipping occasionally until an internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast, up to 15 minutes total. Take off the heat and top each piece of chicken with a slice of cheese to melt slightly.

  • To assemble, remove the tops off the buns, add lettuce and a tomato slice on top. Add a piece of chicken followed by a slice of bacon broken in half so it fits.

  • Spread the honey roasted bbq sauce on the bottom side of the top bun. Add to the sandwiches and enjoy.
