4. Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each roll. Top with a small handful of shredded cheese, and two pepperonis.
5. Fold the dough over the toppings and pinch the edges together. Try to not have any holes in your dough, as your cheese will melt out of it.

Marinated Grilled Chicken Sandwich

From Six Sisters Stuff

Ingredients:

• 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 6 hamburger buns
• your favorite sandwich toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, avocado, cheese, etc)

Directions:

• Mix together the oil, honey, lime juice, chile powder, and cumin in a ziploc bag. Place chicken inside, zip bag closed, and make sure that chicken is fully coated by marinade. Place bag of chicken in the fridge and let marinade for at least 30 minutes (I actually let mine go for about 2 hours- but you could even let it go for 8-10 hours for really flavorful meat!).
• Remove chicken from fridge and preheat grill to medium high heat. Grill the chicken for a couple of minutes on each side, turning once, until the chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
• If you want, you can melt your cheese on the chicken while it cooks and even toast your buns on the grill.

I served these with Baked Sweet Potato Fries.
