Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Make the Cream Cheese Spread

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

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Serve

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