Making a Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club at home is surprisingly easy, and the results are often tastier and healthier than the drive-thru version. This recipe uses a simple mayo marinade for incredibly flavorful and juicy chicken, a tangy honey barbecue sauce, and crispy bacon for a truly satisfying sandwich.
The mayo marinade not only adds flavor but also helps the chicken brown beautifully without sticking. It’s a simple mixture of mayonnaise, lemon zest, garlic, thyme, and a generous amount of black pepper.
The chicken breast is butterflied for even cooking and then coated in the flavorful marinade. Grilling the chicken on a searing hot pan results in perfectly browned and juicy chicken.
While the chicken rests, you can prepare the other sandwich components. Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato slices, and tangy pickled onions add texture and flavor. Toasting the brioche buns in a little bacon fat adds another layer of richness.
Assembling the sandwich is the final step. Spread the honey barbecue sauce on both halves of the toasted bun. Layer buttercrunch lettuce, tomato, pickled onions, grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and Colby Jack cheese. Top with more sauce and the other half of the bun.
