Make It Into a Freezer Meal

If you’re making one batch of this recipe for today, we always say “why not make two and freeze one for later?” There’s not much to it, if you want to make this a freezer meal for later.

Freeze For Later: On a cutting board, cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, creating thin chicken cutlets. To do this, place your palm firmly on top of the chicken breast and slice with a sawing motion in half using a sharp chef’s knife. Add the chicken to a gallon-sized freezer bag along with the Honey Dijon Chicken Marinade. Seal and toss gently to make sure the chicken is covered in the marinade. Label and freeze the chicken/marinade, along with a bag of the cheese, a bag of the cooked bacon, and the pretzel buns.

Prepare From Frozen: Thaw the meal kit. Remove the chicken to a plate and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce to a simmer for about 3-5 minutes, until thickened slightly. Strain out any solids and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, grill the chicken according to the recipe instructions and then build the sandwiches.

How to Make It Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free

Do you have gluten-free and/or dairy-free eaters in your home? No problem. This sandwich can meet either dietary need.

Gluten-Free Substitutions: Replace the buns with Gluten-Free buns or rolls. Or, omit the bun and serve over quinoa, rice, or couscous with a drizzle of the sauce.

Dairy-Free Substitutions: Omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese. Add a little mayo to the bun to replace some of the richness from the cheese.
