Grilled Chicken Sandwiches

My mom found this recipe & it quickly became a huge hit with everyone who has tried it!  Fantastic way to enjoy the warmer weather & an easy dinner to have with friends where you can just chill & catch up without stressing over pans on the stove!  ***One catch~ you do need to let it sit in the marinade at least 6 hours but better if its overnight!

Serves 4

MARINADE:                                             SANDWICHES:
1/4 c lemon juice                                             1lb (4 pieces) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 c olive oil                                                  4 kaiser rolls
2 tsp parsley                                                   1/4 c butter
1 tsp horseradish                                             4 slices Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp basil                                                    4 slices tomato
                                                                      4 slices bacon, crisply cooked, halved

In a 13x9 baking dish, combine all marinade ingredients.  Place chicken, 1 piece at a time, smooth side up, between plastic wrap & pound till chicken is 1/4" thick.
Place pounded chicken in marinade, coating both sides.  Cover & refrigerate at least 6 hrs if not overnight.
Turn the chicken occassionally.  *****You can also do this marinade step in a lg ziploc bag in place of the dish...makes it easy to have both sides coated easiley*****

Heat grill & oil it before placing chicken on to cook.
Grill 8-10 minutes or until juices run clear.  Brush with marinade, turning once.
Spread butter on rolls & grill for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Before you take the chicken off the grill, place a slice of cheese on each & let melt (about 2 min)
To put together the sandwiches, place on piece of chicken/cheese on a roll, top with bacon slices & tomato.
We serve these with mayo for those who want it.
