Marinated Chicken

Cajun Butter

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Making Cajun Butter

  1. 5

    Prepare Cajun Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the Cajun seasoning until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of remoulade on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a grilled chicken breast on top, followed by a slice of jack cheese, a handful of shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion. Drizzle the Cajun butter over the top and finish with the top half of the bun.
