HOW TO MAKE MUSTARD GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES:
Mustard Chicken Marinade:
- Place the chicken in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag, set it aside.
- Mix the brown sugar, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, grainy mustard, yellow mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken. Close the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure it is coated. Place the chicken in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the grill over medium heat, oil the grates. Grill the chicken, flipping halfway through until an internal temperature reaches 165°F degrees, 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside until ready to assemble sandwiches, or serve as is!
Creamy Mustard Sauce:
- Place the mayonnaise, sugar, grainy mustard, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Place in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
Mustard Grilled Chicken Sandwiches:
- Place chicken on sandwich rolls (I used a sweet roll, yum!) and add your favorite toppings. I tossed some shredded lettuce in the creamy mustard sauce, put that on the bottom of the bun.
- Next, sliced tomatoes, chicken, sliced red onion, and more creamy mustard sauce on the underside of the top bun! Serve and enjoy.
See, these Mustard Grilled Chicken Sandwiches are really super easy. Just marinate, grill, and build your sandwich! Trust me you will want to try these ones!
CAN I USE THE MARINADE ON OTHER CUTS OF CHICKEN?
Yes absolutely! You don’t need the marinade just for these sandwiches, it is a great chicken marinade all around and we use it for chicken breasts, thighs, wings, you name it.
We love this marinade so much that we will just marinate the chicken itself and eat it plain, so you can absolutely do that if you are not in a sandwich mood.
CAN I GRILL THESE INDOORS?
Yes, if you do not have a grill you can also make these on a grill pan. Make sure that your chicken is cooked all the way through and reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F.
HOW TO STORE:
This Mustard Grilled Chicken Sandwich recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, this is just the chicken itself and not assembled sandwiches.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Top with your favorite toppings to really make this sandwich yours.
- You can easily double this recipe to serve more people.
- You will want to marinate the chicken for at least 6-8 hours if not overnight for best flavor results.
- The sauce is optional but it really does make this sandwich.
- White vinegar can be used in place of apple cider vinegar. If you don’t have lemons you can substitute more vinegar.
- Dijon mustard also works in place of either mustard or substitute for all dijon.
