Cajun Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

2

Grill the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

3

Cook the Bacon

While the chicken is cooking, in a separate pan, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.

4

Melt the Cheese

During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each chicken breast and cover the pan to melt the cheese.

5

Assemble the Sandwich

Slice the rolls open and layer with lettuce, the grilled chicken with melted cheese, bacon, and sliced tomato.

6

Serve with Fries

Serve the Cajun chicken sandwich alongside fries.
