  • Heat up a griddle pan and place the chicken on and cook until cooked through, turning occasionally.

    During this time you can toast your bun on the griddle pan and slice the tomato and cut the lettuce.
  • Build that sandwich and apply to face.

Notes

LEFTOVERS TIP

Leftover chicken, lettuce and tomato can be turned into a salad why tear up any left over bread rolls into pieces and toasting in the oven for croutons. The aioli can become part of a dressing. Not that I ever end up with leftovers if I serve these Grilled Chicken Sandwiches.
