Main Ingredients

2 pieces Chicken breast

2 tbs Cajun seasoning

2 tbs olive oil

1 cup Bell peppers

1 medium Onion

2 cups Seasonal greens (e.g., arugula, spinach)

1 cup Feta cheese

4 oz Cream cheese

Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously with Cajun seasoning.

Grill the Chicken

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and blackened. Remove from heat and let rest.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Cream Cheese Spread

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the finely chopped preserved lemon until well combined.

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread the lemon cream cheese on the bottom half of the bun. Add a layer of seasonal greens, followed by the grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with the other half of the bun.

Serve

Cut the sandwich in half if desired, serve immediately, and enjoy your Cajun chicken sandwich!
