π Ingredients
-
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved lengthwise for even grilling)
-
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)
-
4 slices mozzarella cheese
-
4 sandwich buns (optional, but highly recommended!)
-
Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, onions, mayo, or ranch dressing
π₯ Instructions
1οΈβ£ Prep the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Halve the chicken breasts lengthwise to create thinner cutlets, which helps them cook faster and stay juicy.
2οΈβ£ Marinate & Grill
Brush both sides of each chicken piece generously with BBQ sauce. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
3οΈβ£ Melt the Mozzarella
In the last 2 minutes of grilling, lay two slices of mozzarella cheese on each chicken piece. Close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt perfectly over the chicken.
4οΈβ£ Assemble the Sandwiches
Toast the sandwich buns lightly on the grill if you like. Place the grilled chicken with melted mozzarella on the bottom bun, add your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.), and finish with the top bun.
5οΈβ£ Serve & Enjoy!
Serve your Grilled Mozzarella BBQ Chicken Sandwiches hot with chips, fries, or a fresh salad on the side.

For an extra smoky flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the BBQ sauce before marinating.
