Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 sandwich buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Optional: sliced red onion, pickles
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Cook the Bacon: While the chicken is marinating, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the sandwich buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired. Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and two slices of bacon. Add any additional toppings, like red onion or pickles, if you like. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich.
- Serve: Serve the Honey-Mustard Chicken Sandwiches hot, with your favorite side dish like potato salad, coleslaw, or fries.
