Summer sandwich season!
These grilled BBQ chicken sandwiches are incredible and the perfect weeknight meal. Top with guacamole and everyone will be thrilled!
Tastes like heaven, looks impressive and is easy enough to assemble for a big summer BBQ.
Extra guac for me please!
We bought a new grill so I’ve been grilling all the things. I usually grill all the things but this is different: we’ve been without a grill for a few months so I was extra excited. When I say that I use the grill daily for dinner in the summer, it’s not an exaggeration! I can’t live without it.Â
I’ve been making chicken thighs often – Eddie adores them and they are our favorite to make for easy lunches, dinners or meal prep. This method is so easy but it’s also very flavorful. It seems too flavorful for what it is!Â
Chicken thighs + seasonings + BBQ sauce + sharp cheddar
That’s how it’s done and it tastes like heaven. Put it on a sandwich or even slice it for a salad. Delish!
And of course I have to make it a bit extra by adding a quick guacamole. It should be our summer spread of choice.Â
This is what’s stacked on our bun!
Grilled BBQ chicken thighs with melty cheddar
A heavy handed scoop of guacamoleÂ
My favorite pickled onions
Some crisp refreshing romaine lettuce
Also can we talk about how I accidentally wrote ICONS instead of onions? I mean… they basically are pickled icons. Let’s be real.Â
Oh and a super buttery brioche bun!
This is SO super flavorful. It tastes amazing, looks pretty and is ridiculously satisfying. It’s one of those sandwiches that is just so loaded that you can serve it with a bag of chips and be good to go. Still impressive!Â

-
Preheat the grill to the highest setting.
-
Season the chicken all over with the salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Once the grill is hot, place the chicken on the grates. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes before turning it and grilling for 5 to 6 minutes more, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
-
Brush the chicken with the BBQ sauce. Flip and brush with more. Top each chicken thigh with a slice of cheddar and close the lid until it just melts. Remove the chicken and drizzle on the remaining BBQ sauce.
-
To assemble, grill the buns until just toasty. Top with a scoop of guacamole, the chicken thigh, pickled onions and romaine. Serve!
Chomp.
