Instructions

1. Place half the garlic herb butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Stir in 2 packets of hot honey. Halve the brioche buns. Pat chicken cutlets dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a well-oiled grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet.) Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side (grill times may vary). During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the honey garlic butter mixture and top each cutlet with a slice of Gouda. Cover the grill or pan and cook until the cheese melts. Meanwhile, place the buns cut-side down on the grill or in the pan and toast until golden.
3. Spread the bottom halves of the toasted buns with the remaining garlic herb butter. Place the cheesy chicken on the buns and drizzle with the remaining hot honey. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use regular honey instead of hot honey?

Yes, but the sandwich will lose its spicy kick. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for heat.

What can I substitute for brioche buns?

Any soft burger bun or ciabatta roll works well. Toasting them adds extra flavor.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

The chicken is best fresh off the grill. You can prep the honey garlic butter mixture in advance and refrigerate until ready to use.
