Serves: 4


EQUIPMENT:

  • Gas grill
  • Grill tongs or spatula
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Plastic freezer bag
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Foil lined pan
  • Pan or skillet
  • Paper towel lined plate

INGREDIENTS:

For the grilled chicken

  • 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4th cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp pickle juice
  • 2 tbsp Yep! Shake Original Seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

To assemble to sandwiches

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 Brioche buns
  • 1/3rd cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Yep! Shake Original seasoning
  • 4-6 slices provolone cheese
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Pickle slices
  • Sliced tomatoes

HOW TO MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN:

ONE – Marinate the chicken

  • Lay the chicken breast inside a freezer bag or between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness.
  • *Note* You don’t need the chicken to be super thin, you just want a consistent thickness so it will cook evenly.
  • Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and place in a large freezer bag. Set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine olive oil, pickle juice, Yep!Shake Original seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and allow to marinated in the fridge for 1-2 hours. 

TWO – Grill the Chicken

  • Take your marinated chicken breasts out of the fridge and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill on medium high heat until very hot (5-10 minutes).
  • Place chicken breasts on the grill and cook over medium high heat with the lid closed for 4-5 minutes. Flip chicken to the other side and continue to grill over medium high heat for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature between 160 and 165 degrees F.
  • Layer slices of provolone cheese over the chicken breasts and close the lid for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove chicken from the grill and place in a foil lined pan. Loosely cover with foil and allow chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

THREE – Cook the Bacon

  • While the chicken is grilling cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy.
  • Remove bacon from the skillet and place on paper towel lined plate. Do not throw away the bacon grease!

FOUR – Toast the buns.

  • Pour all but a thin layer of bacon grease in the pan and place it back on medium high heat.
  • Place both halves the buns, cut side down, into the pan and toast in the bacon grease for about 30 seconds. Watch closely to make sure they don’t burn!
  • Remove and set aside.

FIVE – Assemble the sandwiches

  • Mix 1 tsp of Yep! Shake Original Seasoning into 1/3rd cup of mayonnaise and stir to combine. Spread the seasoned mayo on cut sides of the buns.
  • On the bottom bun layer on onion slices, pickle slices and a slice of tomato. Add chicken then top with iceberg lettuce. Top with the bun and serve.
  • Enjoy!
