Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  3. In a shallow dish, pour 3/4 cup of ponzu sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the buns and toppings. Toast the buns if desired.
  5. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
  7. Cook the chicken on the preheated grill or skillet for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  8. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush each chicken breast with the remaining 1/4 cup of ponzu sauce.
  9. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
  10. Once the cheese has melted, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  11. Assemble the sandwiches by placing a chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun.
  12. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion.
  13. Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun.
  14. Serve the ponzu chicken sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
