Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Sandwich

lunch / mains

Chick-fil-A grilled chicken sandwiches you can make at home with a copycat of their delicious hone barbeque sauce that goes perfectly with pickle-brined, juicy chicken.

I’m such a sucker for a drive-through, but my wallet and body doesn’t always love that. Chick-fil-A is one of my absolute favorite fast-food restaurants to get lunch to go so I thought why create their delicious Grilled Chicken Sandwich at home! It is inherently healthier because you are measuring your ingredients and making the food yourself.

This recipe is perfect for summer because of all the fresh veggies and can be grilled up in minutes! The secret to getting this to taste like Chick-fil-A is the pickle brine and the honey barbeque sauce to spread onto the sandwich. See below for how to make both!

Here are the Ingredients for these Chick-fila-A Grilled Chicken Sandwiches:

  • Vegetables - Lettuce, Tomato

  • Protein - Chicken Breast, Turkey Bacon

  • Seasonings - Salt, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika

  • Dairy - Cheddar or Pepperjack Cheese

  • Pantry - Multigrain Buns, Pickle Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, BBQ Sauce, Dijon Mustard, Honey
