Cooking

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning evenly on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Melt

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread the olive oil or butter on one side of each slice of bread.

  2. 4

    Add the Sauce

    Spread chipotle mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread.

  3. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Place the sliced grilled chicken on top of the mayonnaise, add the slice of Swiss cheese, and top it with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

Grill the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same grill or pan used for the chicken, place the sandwich and grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Serve

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Once the sandwich is grilled to perfection, remove it from the heat, slice it in half, and serve hot.
