How to Make Barbecued Monterey Chicken Sandwiches
- Butterfly two chicken breasts: Cut each breast lengthwise, almost all the way through, to create a thinner, wider piece.
- Season both sides of the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While chicken is still on the grill, lightly brush both sides with your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Remove chicken from grill and top each piece with 2 slices of cooked bacon.
- Generously cover the bacon with 1/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or your preferred cheese).
- Let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes, either on the grill or under a broiler.
- While the cheese melts, toast your croissants. (You can toast them in the oven, on the grill, or in a pan.)
- Place the grilled chicken on the bottom half of each croissant.
- Add any desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.)
- Top with the other croissant half and enjoy your delicious Barbecued Monterey Chicken Sandwiches!
