Denny's BBQ Chicken Sandwich

This is a Top Secret Recipe. I actually had this at Denny's and so I wanted to try this recipe. It was pretty darn good.

Sweet Hickory Spread Ingredients
3 tbsp butter
1 cup minced onion
2 tsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp white vinegar
1/8 tsp hickory salt

2 skinless chicken breast fillets
vegetable oil
salt
ground black pepper
2 hamburger buns
2 tbsp melted butter
2 leaves green leaf lettuce
4 tomato slices
2 slices cheddar cheese
French fried onions

Prepare sweet hickory spread by melting 3 tbsp butter over medium/low heat. Add 1 cup minced onion and sautee for 7 to 10 minutes or until the onions start to brown. Add 2 tsp flour and stir until the flour is mixed in. Let this cook for a minute or two, then add molasses, water, vinegar, and hickory salty. Simmer sauce for 3 to 4 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat and cover.

To cook the chicken, preheat a skillet or griddle pan over medium heat. Pound your chicken with a kitchen mallet so that it has a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch, then trim any excess meat away that would hand off the sandwich. (Pretty sure I didn't trim anything. No wasting here!) Rub each chicken breast with some canola oil, then sprinkle each with salt and pepper. Grill chicken for 4 to 6 minutes per side until done.

As your chicken cooks, spread a little butter on the faces of your two hamburger buns and toast on another skillet or griddle. Build each sandwich by first spreading some of the sweet hickory spread on the face of the bottom bun. Tear a leaf of lettuce to fit on the bottom bun. Arrange two tomato slices on the lettuce. Stack the grilled chicken breast on the tomato slices. Place a slice of cheddar on the chicken breast. Stack a handful of french fried onions then top with the hamburger bun. Serve with bbq sauce on the side.

Yummy. Makes me hungry writing about.
