Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. While the skillet heats, season the chicken breasts generously with blackening seasoning on both sides.

2

Cook the Chicken

Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each breast to melt.

3

Prepare the Buns

While the chicken is cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.

4

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the blackened chicken with melted cheese on top, followed by a layer of shredded lettuce and slices of tomato. Finally, top with the other half of the bun.

5

Serve

Serve immediately with your favorite side.
