Written by Arby’s is well-known for its roast beef sandwiches, but they also offer a variety of chicken sandwiches, including the “Classic Roast Chicken Sandwich.” This sandwich features tender, seasoned roast chicken on a sesame seed bun, along with a selection of toppings and sauces. Below, I’ll provide a simple recipe to recreate a similar sandwich at home.
Ingredients:
For the Roast Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sandwich:
- 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons creamy ranch dressing
Instructions:
- Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or longer if time permits.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are no longer pink in the center. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast and let it melt.
- While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the sesame seed buns on the grill until they are golden brown.
- To assemble the sandwiches, start with the bottom bun and layer it with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and some red onion.
- Place the grilled chicken with melted Swiss cheese on top of the veggies.
- Drizzle each chicken breast with a tablespoon of creamy ranch dressing.
- Finish by adding the top bun, and your Arby’s-inspired Classic Roast Chicken Sandwich is ready to serve.
