There is nothing like a great sandwich. The secret to a great sandwich is the right bread (and not too much of it) a great sauce and a mix of textures, fresh and warm, soft and crunchy etc. I made cajun chicken for a salad Monday and Brian fell in love with the cajun chicken and then I thought that will make a great sandwich but what would be a good sauce and then I thought chipotle mayo (a FANTASTIC condiment :)). This is a super quick weeknight dinner. Enjoy!!!

Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless Chicken Breasts, sliced horizontally into 2 slices each
- 3 Tbsp Cajun Spice (I use Emeril's Essence)
- Canola oil
- 4 Favorite Burger roll (I use Martin potato rolls), toasted
- ½ Cup Mayo (I use Hellman's light)
- 1 Chipotle Pepper
- 4 Slices Provolone Cheese
- Sliced lettuce, tomato & onion for serving
Instructions
- Place the mayo and the chipotle in the food processor, blend until chipotle is all incorporated. Season with S&P.
- Heat a saute pan on high.
- Add enough canola oil to coat the pan.
- Dredge the chicken breast in enough Cajun spice to totally coat the chicken on both sides. Saute the chicken for 5 minutes and flip. Cook for another 4 minutes, then add the provolone to the top of the chicken to melt.
- Add a thin layer of the chipotle mayo to both sides of the toasted roll. Place the chicken on the roll with a little lettuce, tomato & onion.
