Method

Prepare Cajun Mayo

  1. 1

    Make the Cajun Mayo

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning until well combined. Set aside.

Prepare Chicken Tenders

  1. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.

  2. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender first into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 4

    Fry or Grill

    Heat oil in a deep pan for frying or preheat a grill. Cook the chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side for frying or 6-8 minutes total on the grill. If blackening, use a cast-iron skillet with high heat.

Assemble the Sandwich

    Build Your Sandwich

    On each po-boy bread, place the cooked chicken tenders, top with your choice of cheese (provolone or Swiss), and add a generous spread of Cajun mayo. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
