Pretzel Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich Recipes

June 28, 2023

Pretzel Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients:  1 Bag Turnbuckle Soft Pretzel Sticks 1 Lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 Tsp salt and black pepper 1/2 Tsp paprika and garlic Powder Olive oil, as needed 4 Slices provolone cheese 2 Large red onions Hot honey, for drizzling on chicken 4 Peaches, thinly sliced 1 Package arugula Directions: One at a time, lay the chicken breast inside a freezer bag. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken into 4 equal pieces. Combine the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in the same freezer bag. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the same bag. Mix around and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil grate. Place the chicken on the grill and cook, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Cooking time will vary depending on your grill and how thick your chicken breasts are. Add a slice of cheese to the top of each chicken breast and cook for about 1 minute or until the cheese is melted. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover with foil. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the onion into wedges, leaving the root partially intact so the layers stay together on the grill. Brush with olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper. Place the onion pieces on the grill and cook until tender, turning once. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes. Cut the pretzel sticks in half, lengthwise. To toast the pretzel sticks, place cut side down on grill during the last minute or two of cooking time. To assemble the sandwiches, top half of the sliced pretzel sticks with a piece of grilled chicken and drizzle generously with hot honey. Top with grilled onions, peach slices, and arugula. Top with the other half of the pretzel sticks as the bun and serve. Enjoy!
