## Tips

- Marinate the chicken overnight for best results, but 30 minutes will also work.
- Toasting the inside of the bread makes the sandwich crustier.
- Dipping the sandwich into the sauce rather than putting sauce on it directly helps maintain the crunch on every bite.
- The fresh cilantro adds a perfect freshness to the sandwich.
- The chicken has a roasted, smoky flavor from being seared first before being added to the butter chicken sauce, which pairs well with the creamy cheese and fresh cilantro.
- This recipe tastes like a 10/10!
