How to Make Bacon Jack Chicken Sandwiches
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- While the grill preheats, cook 6 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, until crispy. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, rub 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning.
- Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Top each cooked chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon and 1 slice of pepper jack cheese (about 4 ounces total).
- Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately on toasted buns. Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
