1
Prepare the Chicken
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
2
Cook the Chicken
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
3
Melt the Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of pepper jack cheese on each chicken breast to melt.
4
Prepare the Sourdough
In the same pan or on the grill, lightly toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Sandwich
On a slice of toasted sourdough, place a portion of lettuce, then the melted Cajun chicken, and top with sliced tomatoes. Add another slice of sourdough to complete the sandwich.
6
Serve
Serve the Cajun chicken sandwich with a side of Cajun ranch dressing for dipping.
