Instructions
1
Preheat your grill to medium heat and line the grates with non-stick foil to prevent sticking.
2
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper together. Use this mixture to brush both sides of the onion slices before placing them on the grill.
3
Place the garlic-coated onion slices on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the onions are tender and slightly charred.
4
Once the onions are done, increase the grill heat to medium-high. Lay the pounded chicken breasts on the grill grates and brush both sides liberally with the remaining garlic-butter mixture.
5
Grill the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last few minutes of grilling, coat the chicken with honey barbecue sauce.
6
When the chicken is nearly done, top each breast with grilled onions and a slice of cheese. Close the lid for an additional 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
7
Meanwhile, toast the crusty rolls on the grill until golden brown, and spread each cut side with mayonnaise or an extra layer of barbecue sauce.
8
Assemble the sandwiches by placing the chicken with melted cheese and onions on the bottom half of the toasted roll, topping it with crispy bacon slices. Secure with the top half of the roll and enjoy your delicious creation!
