Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. While the chicken is resting, heat a lightly oiled grill pan over medium heat. Place the sliced bell peppers and red onions on the grill pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they are slightly charred and softened.

  4. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey to make a delicious spread for your sandwich.

  5. To assemble the sandwiches, spread the mayo mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Place a slice of pepper jack cheese on the other side of the bread.

  6. Layer the sliced Cajun chicken on top of the cheese, followed by the grilled bell peppers and onions. Top with lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes.

  7. Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, mayo side down.

  8. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted, and the bread is golden brown and crispy.

  9. Once the sandwiches are done, remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before cutting in half.
