These Mojito Grilled Chicken Sandwiches are flavored with all the classic ingredients of a mojito- rum, mint, and lime. The Mojito is a cocktail that originated in Cuba and it is one of the most refreshing of summer drinks.
The chicken breasts just need 20 minutes or so in the marinade to soak up plenty of flavor from the rum, lime juice, and mint. Serve with a mojito mayonnaise, grilled sweet onions, lettuce, and tomato for a filling and easy meal.
