ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4 onion sandwich buns

• Sauce

• 1⁄4 cup honey

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 "Recipe #296559".

Recduced this to two servings for lunch for DS an I. Great tasting sandwiches, I did leave out the cabbage, but other than that made for a great lunch for us. Used hamburger buns, since that is what I had on hand. Worked out well. Made for a great lunch. Made for PRMR Tag.

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!
