These Honey Dijon Chicken Cutlet Sandwiches are a delightful blend of tender grilled chicken breast marinated in a sweet and tangy honey Dijon sauce, topped with melted Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh lettuce and tomato slices. Served on soft pretzel buns or whole grain hamburger buns, these sandwiches bring a perfect balance of flavors and textures ideal for a quick, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Honey Dijon Chicken Marinade (see note for adjustments)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sandwich Components

  • 6 pretzel buns (or whole grain hamburger buns)
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon
  • Lettuce leaves (optional)
  • Tomato slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast on a cutting board and carefully slice in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets, using a sharp chef’s knife with a gentle sawing motion and firm pressure.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Transfer the chicken cutlets into a large freezer bag. Add the Honey Dijon marinade (honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper mixed). Seal the bag and toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to marinate.
  3. Make the Honey Dijon Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside for later use.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat, approximately 400°F. Remove the chicken from the marinade allowing excess to drip off. Grill each cutlet for about 4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F or juices run clear.
  5. Simmer the Marinade: Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the cooked bacon into thirds. On the bottom half of each bun, place one grilled chicken cutlet, top with a slice of Swiss cheese, broken pieces of bacon, and drizzle with the honey Dijon sauce prepared earlier. Add lettuce and tomato slices if desired. Cover with the bun top.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while the sandwiches are warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, include the apple cider vinegar in the honey Dijon marinade and sauce.
  • If pretzel buns are not available, whole grain hamburger buns are a suitable alternative.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee safety.
  • The marinade can be prepared ahead of time to save on prep time.
  • Optional lettuce and tomato add freshness but can be omitted if preferred.
