Gold Chicken Crunch Sandwiches
To whip up these delicious Gold Chicken Crunch Sandwiches, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 chicken tenders (grilled, fried, or baked)
- 4 hoagie rolls or soft sandwich buns
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (for extra tangy sweetness)
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
- ½ cup finely shredded lettuce or cabbage (for crunch)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Hot sauce for a spicy kick
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Gold Chicken Crunch Sandwiches:
- Step 1: Cook the Chicken: If using raw chicken tenders, season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, bake, or fry until golden brown and cooked through—about 5–7 minutes per side on the grill. Set aside and keep warm.
- Step 2: Make the Tangy Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and yellow mustard until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 3: Toast the Rolls: Slice hoagie rolls or buns and toast in a skillet or oven for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden and crispy.
- Step 4: Build Your Sandwiches: Lay shredded lettuce or cabbage in the bottom half of each toasted roll. Top with a hot chicken tender, generously spoon the creamy mustard sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for freshness. Add hot sauce if desired.
- Step 5: Serve: Complete each sandwich with the top half of the roll. Serve warm and enjoy every crunchy bite!
