Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the honey roasted bbq sauce:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet bbq sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Sandwich 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

Instructions

  • 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.
