30-Minute Honey Lemon Chicken Sandwich

Seared chicken thighs in a honey-lemon marinade with peppers and onions, piled into a sandwich with a tangy yoghurt-bbq sauce. The honey and lemon together, with a kick from the cayenne and jalapeños, is unreal.

Ingredients

Chicken

1 lb chicken thighs, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced

2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
2–3 tbsp honey
1 tsp ground mustard
½ tsp ginger paste
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp jalapeños, diced
1 tbsp soy sauce
Salt, to taste

Sauce

1.5 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1 tsp mayo
½ tsp mustard

Steps

Chicken

1Whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 2 lemons, 2–3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp ground mustard, ½ tsp ginger paste, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp cayenne, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tbsp diced jalapeños, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and salt until well combined.
2Slice the chicken thighs and add them to the marinade. Let it sit while you prep everything else — the longer the better, but even 15 minutes works.
3Sear the chicken along with the sliced bell pepper and onion until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Sauce

4While the chicken cooks, mix together 1.5 tbsp Greek yoghurt, 1 tsp mayo, ½ tsp mustard, 1 tbsp bbq sauce, and 1 tbsp ketchup.

Assemble

5Spread the sauce over your bread.
6Pile on the chicken, peppers, and onions, and add the cheese.
