Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets. Pound them to ensure uniform thickness.
  2. Marinate: Place cutlets in a freezer bag with honey Dijon marinade, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or freeze immediately.
  3. Cook Marinade: In a saucepan, bring remaining marinade to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Grill Chicken: Preheat grill to medium heat. Cook chicken cutlets for approximately 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Layer the grilled cutlet, Swiss cheese, bacon, and drizzle with sauce on pretzel buns; add optional lettuce and tomato.
