  2. Cook the chicken on a hot grill for about 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.

  4. Melt butter in a pan and toast the brioche buns until golden brown.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider serving with spicy sweet potato fries or a zesty corn salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for about 3 months, keeping buns separate.
