  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check that the chicken is cooked by cutting into it and making sure that the juices run clear.
  • For a crispier sandwich, brush the chicken breasts with melted butter before grilling.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • To make the sandwich more flavorful, use a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
