Instructions

Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts so that they're about ¾ inch in thickness.
In a medium size bowl combine the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add he chicken breasts and toss until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a small bowl combine all the sauce ingredients together. Refrigerate until ready to assemble sandwiches.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread the honey mustard mixture on the bottom halves of the buns.
Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a slice of cheddar cheese to each sandwich.
Place a grilled chicken breast on top of the cheese, 2 bacon slices on each, then add the top half of the bun.
Serve the grilled chicken sandwiches hot and enjoy!

Notes

Marinate longer for more flavor: Although the recipe calls for marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, letting it marinate for a few hours or even overnight will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken more deeply.
Customize your toppings: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, vegetables, or even additional sauces to create your perfect sandwich.
Use quality buns: A good sandwich starts with a good foundation. Choose fresh, quality buns that complement the flavors of the grilled chicken and other ingredients.
Rest the chicken: After grilling the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before assembling the sandwich. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy chicken breast.
Adjust the sauce to taste: Feel free to adjust the honey mustard sauce to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more honey; if you like it tangier, increase the mustard or vinegar.
