Grilled Chicken Burgers with melty cheese and bacon, slathered in honey mustard sauce!
Celebrating Father’s Day with a Wales family classic – the grilled chicken burger, topped with melty cheese, bacon, and honey mustard sauce. This is a crowd pleaser that makes everyone happy and offers a nice alternative to traditional beef burgers. A shout out to Patti B, who apparently was the genius behind discovering this recipe!
The simplicity of this recipe (which isn’t really much of a recipe, but a list of assembled ingredients) is what makes it so great for a gathering to feed a crowd. Marinade from a bottle, which isn’t always my favorite way to do things, but sometimes life just gets busy and shortcuts like this are invaluable.
This is something I remember eating at my in-law’s house when we were first dating in college – I know I’m not alone in having this food memory there, which makes it a great dinner to serve for Father’s Day. Food definitely plays a huge role in making memories, and this is nostalgic and easy. Happy Father’s Day to this guy – who definitely loves this one!
Grilled Chicken Burgers with Bacon, Pepper Jack and Honey Mustard Sauce
Ingredients
- 6 small chicken breast halves, or cutlets
- 1/2 bottle of Ken's Italian Salad Dressing
- 2 Tbsp Worstershire Sauce
- salt and pepper to season
- 6 thick slices PepperJack Cheese
- 12 cooked slices of bacon
- 6 seeded Hamburger buns
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 6 Tbsp Honey Cup Honey Mustard
- 2 Tbsp Helman's Mayonnaise
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- To marinate the chicken, combine the Italian Salad dressing and worcestershire sauce, a little salt and pepper in a glass or ceramic bowl or dish, add the chicken and rest for at least 30 minutes, but up to 8 hours.
- When read to cook, heat either a gas or charcoal grill to medium high heat, or a stovetop grill pan to the same level. Cook the chicken about 6 minutes per side, until fully cooked. In the last minutes of cooking on the second side, place two broken up strips of bacon on each chicken breast, top with cheese, and close the lid on the grill to melt the cheese.
- Assemble the chicken burgers using toppings as you like. I used sliced avacado, gem lettuce and the honey mustard sauce.
- To make the Honey Mustard Sauce, stir the Honey Cup Mustard and mayo together, and season to your liking with salt and pepper.

This is so ridiculously good and easy. I never know who will be home for dinner night to night (which is frustrating and makes it hard to motivate to cook!). My 3 teenagers were out and about and when I sent them the photo of what we were having for dinner, everyone suddenly showed up! Huge hit with whole family! Thank you WalesTable!!
