Grilled Sante Fe Chicken Sandwich




Ingredients
·              4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
·              1/3 cup rice vinegar
·              1/3 cup soy sauce
·              1 tsp sesame oil
·              2 tablespoons brown sugar
·              1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
·              1 tsp ground ginger
·              1 tsp crushed garlic
·              1/4 cup mayonnaise
·              1/2 tsp paprika
·              1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
·              1/2 tsp curry powder
·              1/4 tsp salt
·              4 wheat hamburger buns
·              4 slices pepper jack cheese
·              4 whole green chili peppers, from can, patted dry

Instructions

  1. Pound out each of the chicken breasts so that they are a fairly even thickness throughout. Marinate the chicken by combining the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, and crushed garlic in a ziploc bag with the chicken breasts. Marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. 
  2. Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat. 
  3. Make the sauce by combining the mayo, paprika, cayenne, curry powder, and salt in a bowl and mixing it up.
  4. Grill the chicken for about 5-8 minutes each side. Actual time will depend on the thickness of your meat. The chicken is done when it is firm to the touch. Place the pepper jack slices on each piece of chicken during the last minute or so of cooking so it can melt. 

  5. Grill the buns face-side down for just a minute or two so that they are toasted. Spread the mayo mixture on the face of each bun. Top with cheese smothered chicken and green chili.
