Grilled Chicken Sandwiches with Garlic Parmesan Mayonnaise

Grilled Chicken Sandwiches – served with the best sauce for chicken sandwich, Homemade Garlic Parmesan Mayonnaise. The perfect recipe to enjoy for a picnic either in your own backyard or nearby park. 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.

Sometimes you just have to stop what you’re doing and pack up the grilled chicken sandwiches you made for dinner and head to the lake nearby to enjoy some time with your hubby!

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.

Directions

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.

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.

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

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

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.
