Hoisin Chicken Sandwich

CaliforniaJan's Note:

This is a flavorful twist on the traditional chicken sandwich

• Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 2 hrs
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4 onion sandwich buns

Sauce

• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup hoisin sauce
• 1 garlic clove
• ¼ teaspoon ginger
• ¼ teaspoon dry mustard

Toppings

• ¼ cup shredded cabbage (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons green onions , sliced (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (to taste)

Directions:

1. Cut chicken breasts into strips and set aside.
2. Mix together all sauce ingredients thoroughly and marinate chicken for at least 2 hours.
3. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Grill for 10 minutes, basting with marinade.
4. Grill buns at the same time chicken is grilling.
5. You can also choose to stir fry the chicken and cooking time will decrease significantly, and simply toast the buns under the broiler.
6. Put the chicken on the onion buns and add desired toppings. Good served with your favorite coleslaw.
7. I use my bread machine onion buns "Onion Rolls, Bread Machine".

I made these to go with your onion rolls and it was a perfect match. They whole family enjoyed! Thanks California Jan, for posting. Roxygirl

This takes chicken sandwiches to a whole different level. I couldn't bare to throw away the marinade so I cooked it really well until it was fairly thick and spooned that on the buns. (unfortunately I didn't have any onion rolls- but the hamburger buns worked perfectly!) The chicken breasts were enormous so I only used two and it was enough to feed the three of us plus a little extra for tomorrows lunch. I really enjoyed this unique sandwich!
