Ingredients
  

For The Chicken Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice from one lemon
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 chicken cutlets or boneless, skinless breasts

For The Hot Honey:

  • 2 to 3 Calabrian chilies (in oil)
  • 1/2 cup orange blossom honey

For The Sandwiches:

  • 1/2 cup Gouda cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup smoked Gouda cheese shredded
  • 6 sesame seed buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Red onion thinly sliced

Instructions
 

To Marinate The Chicken:

  • Add olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the chicken to a plastic bag or a glass container, then pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

To Make The Hot Honey:

  • Place Calabrian chilies and honey in a jar. Use an immersion blender to purée, or just finely dice the chilies and stir them into the honey. Set aside until ready to use.

To Make The Sandwiches:

  • Preheat the grill to 400°F. Use a grill brush to clean the grates, then lightly oil the grill.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side with the lid closed until the chicken gets an internal temperature of 165°F. Note: If using chicken cutlets, they may cook a little faster. Check on them around the 2-minute mark.
  • In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the Gouda and smoked Gouda over the chicken. Close the lid to let the cheese melt.
