Notes
- Marinate the chicken at least for 30 minutes to an hour for the best flavors.
- Slice the chicken breast into half or pound it. It ensures that the chicken is cooked evenly.
- For the grilled chicken - Make sure the grill pan is hot enough. When you place the chicken on it, you must hear the sizzling noise. It will seal the outer surface of the chicken which will make the chicken crispy outside and juicy inside.
- Toasting the bread adds a little crunch to the sandwich. If you like a cold chicken sandwich then serve it without toasting it.
- The addition of butter enhances the flavor of the sandwich. You can substitute it with clarified butter or Ghee. But do not substitute it with oil.
- While making the chicken sandwich filling, make sure there is enough moisture in the filling. It should not be dry. If required, add more mayonnaise or tomato sauce, to make a super juicy chicken sandwich.
