Today I am featuring a recipe inspired by a sandwich that my husband always orders at a local restaurant. It is a chicken sandwich topped with a wonderful cajun seasoned mayonnaise. He likes this sandwich so much that he wants me to make it every week. The last time I made this meal I decided to freeze extra chicken so that it’s available to thaw out whenever he wants a sandwich. The cajun mayo is so good you may find yourself dipping fries and tater tots in it. The spices that you see in this recipe are in your spice rack already so let’s get started with this yummy recipe.
We will start the recipe by stirring together the seasoning mix to flavor the meat and the mayo. In a bowl mix:
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
To make the Cajun mayo mix 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of ketchup with 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix in a bowl. Now set the mayo to the side until you are ready to put together the sandwiches.
Then cook your chicken pieces in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sprinkle the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix. Cook the chicken until it reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
To put the sandwiches together, spread the mayo on each side of the bun.
Add pieces of chicken to cover the bun.
Add a slice of tomato and a piece of lettuce.
Now it is time to enjoy the perfect Cajun Chicken Sandwich.
