Double Grilled Cheese Barbecue Chicken BLT

 A simple sandwich that tastes anything but simple!  This Double Grilled Cheese Barbecue Chicken BLT is a meal in and of itself.  Grilled barbecue chicken, greens, bacon, tomato and red onion are housed between two grilled cheese sandwiches.  Look no further, this is the sandwich you didn’t know you had been dreaming of.

Let me start off by saying, I’m not even a fan of sandwiches.  Until now.  This sandwich is in a league by itself.  Comforting, filling and sure to satisfy.  This Double Grilled Cheese Barbecue Chicken BLT has it all.

Bread?  Ha!  Buns?  Not a chance!  Instead, all of the delicious toppings are sandwiched between two – count them, two! – grilled cheese sandwiches.  So technically, you’re eating two sandwiches in one.  And you”ll love every single bite.  I actually pressed on my sandwiches with a spatula as they cooked to flatten them a bit while cooking so that the sandwich would be easier to eat.  Mission accomplished!

While we’re counting reasons to love this sandwich, I’ll add to it how easy it is to grill exactly the amount of chicken you’ll need thanks to Perdue’s new PERFECT PORTIONS® Mesquite Grille Seasoned Boneless, Skinless Breasts.  These chicken breasts are individually wrapped so that you are able to prepare only what you need each time.  Genius!  And the mesquite flavor?  Couldn’t be more perfect for this sandwich.  I’ve added even more flavor to the chicken by slathering it with my new favorite barbecue sauce as it came off the grill.  The layering of flavor with each ingredient is key to an amazing sandwich.

And you can’t forget all of the fresh ingredients stuffed between those aforementioned grilled cheeses.  Fresh tomato, thinly sliced red onion, handfuls of fresh greens and of course, strips of smoky, salty bacon.
