Equipment

- Knife
- Grill pan or skillet
- Spatula
- Toaster
Ingredients
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 hamburger bun
- Butter
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese or your melty cheese of choice
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slice
- Mayonnaise
Instructions
Step 1: Let’s Get Grilling!
- Preheat your grill pan or skillet over medium heat. We want that sizzle when the chicken hits the pan.
- Drizzle your chicken breast with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Don’t skimp on the seasoning; it’s the foundation of Freddy’s magic.
- Carefully place the chicken on the preheated pan. Let it cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Patience is key here; a perfectly cooked chicken breast is the star of the show.
- While the chicken works its magic, toast your hamburger bun. That buttery crunch is essential for textural contrast.
Step 2: Building the Flavor Stack:
- Spread a generous dollop of mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Freddy’s uses a special sauce, but trust me, good ol’ mayo does the trick just fine.
- Place the cooked chicken breast on top of the mayo. Let that glistening, juicy masterpiece take center stage.
- Drape your melty cheese slice over the chicken. Cheddar is classic, but feel free to experiment with pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or even Swiss for a different flavor adventure.
- Pile on the crisp lettuce leaves and a juicy tomato slice. The freshness is crucial for balancing the richness of the chicken and cheese.
- Top it all off with the other half of the toasted bun, and press gently to assemble your masterpiece.
