Yield 4 Sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Halves, pounded to an even 3/8-inch thickness
1/4 cup BBQ Dry Rub Spice Mix(salt, black pepper, ancho chile powder , paprika, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder)
1 cup favorite bottled BBQ Sauce
4 slices PepperJack cheese
8 pieces sourdough bread, cut approximately 4-inches long
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
8 slices applewood-smoked bacon
4 slices red onion, cut about 1/4-inch thick
2 Tbsp. canola oil
4 slices fresh tomato, cut about 1/4-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 romaine lettuce leaves, trimmed to fit the bread slices

Steps:

  • The night before the tailgate, cover each chicken breast loosely with plastic wrap and pound each one to a thickness of about 3/8-inch. Season both sides of each breast generously with the BBQ dry rub, then place them in a covered container in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, let the breasts come back to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. Over a grill set on medium-high heat, grill the bacon strips on both sides to a crisp doneness. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Grill the chicken breasts until nicely browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Turn the breasts over and brush the top side with some BBQ sauce. After cooking for 2 more minutes, place a slice of cheese on top of each breast. When the cheese begins to melt, remove the breasts from the grill to a plate and loosely cover them with foil to stay warm. Meanwhile, brush each onion slice with oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip the onion slices over and grill until lightly charred. Remove the onions from the grill to a plate. Brush one side of each slice of bread with the melted butter and place them buttered-side-down on the grill. Cook the bread for about 30 seconds, then flip over and grill for another 30 seconds. Remove the bread to a platter. Sprinkle each slice of tomato with salt and pepper, to taste. To assemble, place a grilled chicken breast on each of 4 slices of bread with the buttered side facing up. Place 2 slices of bacon over each breast. On top of the bacon, place a grilled onion slice, then a seasoned tomato slice and then a lettuce leaf. Finally, brush the other 4 bread slices on the buttered side with some BBQ sauce and place them sauce-side-down on top of the sandwiches. Serve immediately.

I wasn't sure how the avocado would taste on this sandwich, but it was surprisingly delicious. It added a creamy richness that balanced out the spiciness of the BBQ sauce.

I've tried this sandwich with both fried and grilled chicken and I prefer the grilled chicken version. It's just a little bit healthier and it still tastes great.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sandwich didn't turn out very well. The chicken was tough and the BBQ sauce was too spicy.

I made this sandwich with grilled chicken instead of fried chicken and it was still really good. I also used a different type of BBQ sauce and it turned out great.

I wouldn't recommend this sandwich. It was too messy and the flavors didn't really go together.

I thought this sandwich was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the BBQ sauce was too sweet for my taste.
