Prepare Sweet Hickory Spread By Melting 3 Tablespoons Butter Over Medium-low Heat. Add 1 Cup Minced Onion & Sauté For 7 To 10 Minutes Or Until The Onions Start To Brown. Add 2 Teaspoons Flour & Stir Until The Flour Is Mixed In. Let This Cook For A Minute Or Two. Next, Add Molasses, Water, Vinegar, & Hickory Salt. Simmer Sauce For 3 - 4 Minutes Or Until Thick. Remove From Heat & Cover.
To Cook The Chicken, Preheat a large skillet over Medium Heat.
Pound Your Chicken With A Mallet so that it is about ½-inch thick, Then Trim Any Excess Meat Away That Would Hang Off The Sandwich. Rub Each Chicken Breast With Some Canola Oil, Then Sprinkle Each Breast With Salt & A Pinch Of Pepper. Grill Chicken Breast Fillets For 3 To 6 Minutes Per Side Until Done.
As Your Chicken Cooks, Spread A Little Melted Butter On The Faces Of Your Two Hamburger Buns & Toast The Faces Of The Buns On Another Skillet Or Griddle Set To Medium Heat Until Light Brown.
Build Each Sandwich By First Spreading Some Of The Sweet Hickory Spread On The Face Of The Bottom Bun.
Tear A Leaf Of Green Leaf Lettuce To Fit On The Bottom Bun.
Arrange Two Tomato Slices On The Lettuce On Each Sandwich.
