Notes

  • You can make these sandwiches into sliders! Just cut up the chicken into smaller pieces, grill and serve in slider buns. Kids love these because they can actually fit into their little mouths!
  • If you are serving these with ciabatta bread, be sure it is pretty soft. You can cut the bread open, butter slightly, and place on the grill to crisp up a little bit, but still have that delicious softness inside.
  • Try melting any cheese you like! I love a good Pepper Jack cheese for spice, but I usually make my kids' sandwiches with provolone, cheddar, Swiss or Monterrey Jack cheese.
