Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons honey

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 if you can: Even an extra hour makes a difference.
- Use a meat thermometer: 165°F (74°C) is your sweet spot for juicy chicken.
- Make extra sauce: You’ll want it for dipping everything.
- Toast the buns: A quick grill toast adds that little something extra.
- Switch it up: Try pepper jack, BBQ sauce, avocado, this sandwich plays nice with others.
