Charred peppers and creamy goat cheese transform this grilled chicken sandwich into a showstopper. Bite after bite, this dish will leave you wanting more.

Preparation
STEP 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, wine, lemon juice and zest, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Transfer to a zip-top bag and add the chicken. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to eight.

STEP 2

Heat grill to medium-high. Brush peppers lightly with oil. (To reduce the heat of the peppers, cut off the stem and remove the seeds.) Grill peppers and chicken breasts until peppers are nicely charred and chicken is cooked through. Slice peppers.

STEP 3

Spread goat cheese over both sides of the rolls and top with chicken and peppers. Serve hot.
