Let me show you how to make another Family Favorite Chicken Recipe I know your family is going to enjoy as much as my family does.

Chicken Sandwich Sauce

How do you turn an ordinary grilled chicken sandwich into something AMAZING? You make an incredible chicken sandwich sauce to go on top!

I love this homemade sauce. It's very similar to the Ranch Dipping Sauce Recipe I shared with you awhile ago only this time I'm adding freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the mayonnaise base. This sauce was the perfect topping to already perfectly grilled chicken.

If you're looking for a ketchup based sauce, try my Homemade Fry Sauce. I love to use it to dip veggies, pizza and on top of sandwiches.

Ingredients

For the Grilled Chicken Sandwiches

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts; grilled
• Soft Rolls
• Tomatoes
• Fresh spinach or lettuce

For the Garlic Parmesan Mayo:

• Mayonnaise
• Parmesan cheese
• White vinegar
• Garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: How to Grill the Chicken

• Combine the ingredients for the chicken sandwich sauce in a small bowl. Set aside while you prepare the grilled chicken.
• I needed to get dinner cooked fast, so I used my favorite Lodge Cast Iron Grill Pan. Cooking chicken in a cast iron pan always turns out delicious.
• To give the chicken extra flavor, you can marinade in Italian salad dressing for about an hour. For this recipe, I chose to keep it simple and season with my "house seasoning" which is a combination of garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Always make sure the chicken cooks to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. And yes, I always check with an Digital Meat Thermometer.

Step 2: Put the Sandwiches Together

• Once the chicken was cooked, I started assembling the sandwiches. 
• I started by laying the rolls on a cutting board and then added the sliced grilled chicken.

• We love fresh spinach, so that's what I used for our grilled chicken sandwiches. 
• But you can definitely use your favorite lettuce, followed by sliced tomatoes.

Step 3: Add the Garlic Parmesan Mayonnaise Sauce

• Now comes the yummy homemade Garlic Parmesan Mayonnaise Sauce. 
• Go ahead spread a big spoonful to the top of the bun.

Step 4: Chicken Side Dishes

• All that was needed to complete our impromptu picnic was chips, bottled water and homemade coleslaw.

Step 5: Pack the Picnic and Enjoy!

Sometimes, you need to put aside the work, pack up dinner and take a drive to the local park and just enjoy some time together.
