Grilled Chicken Tender Melt

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Chicken Tenders, breaded or grilled
• Silver Spring Honey Chipotle Aioli
• Salt and Pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 4 slices of Cheese of choice
• 4 slices of Bread of choice
• 1-2 tbsp Butter or Olive Oil (for toasting bread)
• Optional toppings: Sliced tomatoes, spinach, onions, etc.

Directions:

1. In a bowl, toss the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
2. Preheat a grill pan, regular grill, or pan over medium-high heat. Grill or cook chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat.
3. Place a slice of cheese on one piece of bread, then layer a few chicken tenders on top. Add any optional ingredients (tomatoes, spinach, onions) of choice. Top with another slice of cheese, then close the sandwich with another slice of bread.
4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter or add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the sandwich in the skillet, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
5. Cut in half if desired, and serve hot. Drizzle on or dip in some Silver Spring Honey Chipotle Aioli. Enjoy!
