Smashed Chicken Sandwich - which option for grilling?

For anyone that frequents Smash Burger, I am attempting to recreate the smash chicken sandwich. Obviously I'm going to flatten out my chicken breast, but should I use my cast iron griddle, cast iron grate, or regular grate for the cook?

    I haven't heard of smashburger but I checked it out and it looks like they cook on a big flatop, so i think a griddle might be the closest. Maybe use the bottom of a skillet to smash it. Assuming you dont have one of these...

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Only been to Smash Burger once and have no intention of ever going back. Besides that I had the over rated, over priced under tasting burger, not chicken. OTOH we enjoy my smashed chicken breasts on the egg. I place each breast in a plastic bag and then carefully beat each one thin using a mallet. After they are uniform in thickness or thereabouts I place them into a new plastic bag and pour in a cup or so of Kraft Zesty Italian dressing to marinate for 6 to 8 hours...anything less is a waste of dressing and your time! Then I egg direct on a raised grate @450 dome for 4/4/1. During that last minute I place a half slice of Munster and a half slice of Havariti cheese on the breasts to melt. I serve on a croissant with mayo and lettuce. Trust me...this will make "Moma" cry with delight.

    I just printed RRP's post so I can try it.  I have a teenager that is a chicken sandwich snob ... I haven't made one on the egg yet that has been a perfect 10 in her book.  She likes the taste of Italian dressing so this might be the right recipe!  I'll wait til my thermapen gets here to try it!
