Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces Tomatoes (sliced)
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
Rub both sides of each chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 4
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, lemon juice, and garlic powder to create the zesty sauce. Mix well and set aside.
Step 6
Lightly butter the sandwich buns and toast them in a dry skillet or under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the zesty sauce generously on each half of the bun. Layer the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a cooked chicken breast. Add the top bun to complete the sandwich.
Step 8
Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite side, such as fries, coleslaw, or a salad. Enjoy!
