  3. To grill the chicken: Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and allow to cook for 10 minutes per side.
  4. Once cooked through, cover with foil and allow it to cool down for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. When the chicken is ready, slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices.
  6. Assemble the chicken sandwich: Spread 2 tablespoons of Sriracha Caesar Dressing at the bottom half of every sandwich.
  7. Top that with a slice of cheese, some arugula, red onions, kimchi, chicken strips, sun dried tomatoes, and another slice of cheese.
  8. Place the sandwich in a panini press and press on the grill for 4 minutes until the cheese melts and sticks all ingredients together.
  9. Serve the chicken sandwich with fries and extra sauces for dipping.
  10. Enjoy.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the marinated chicken before grilling. Just ensure it's well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
  • Tip 3: This sandwich pairs beautifully with a side salad or crispy fries.
  • Tip 4: Add pickles or crunchy vegetables to give the sandwich a delightful texture contrast.
  • Tip 5: Feel free to experiment with different dressings or cheeses to suit your taste.
