If you’re craving a sandwich that’s packed with smoky BBQ flavor, melty mozzarella cheese, and juicy grilled chicken, this recipe is your new go-to! Perfect for summer cookouts, quick dinners, or whenever you want that irresistible combination of smoky, cheesy, and savory.

πŸ— 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

πŸ”₯ Instructions

1️⃣ 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.

2️⃣ 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.

3️⃣ 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.

4️⃣ 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.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

Serve your Grilled Mozzarella BBQ Chicken Sandwiches hot with chips, fries, or a fresh salad on the side.

🍽️ Pro Tips

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

  • Use fresh mozzarella slices for the creamiest melt.

  • Don’t skip toasting the bunsβ€”it adds great texture and flavor!
