I have been getting many requests for this recipe. So I thought I would post it on the blog. I hope that some of you will try it and comment. Tonight I made it and melted the cheese over the red peppers and it was really good.
Grilled Cajun Chicken Sandwich
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless medium chicken breast halves (about 12 ounces total)
Olive oil or cooking oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
2 to 4 tablespoons Thousand Island salad dressing
Few dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
Roasted or fresh red sweet pepper strips
Lettuce leaves
4 Kaiser or whole wheat buns, split and toasted
Directions
1. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Place each breast, boned side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Working from center to edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a mallet until chicken is just less than 1/2 inch thick.
2. Brush with oil; sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Grill or broil as directed.
3. Spread buns with Thousand Island salad dressing mixed with a few dashes bottled hot pepper sauce. Top with roasted or fresh red sweet pepper strips, lettuce, and bun tops. Makes 4 servings.
To cook by direct grill method: Arrange chicken on a grill rack. Grill, uncovered, directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until no pink remains, turning once. Add cheese the last 2 minutes of grilling.
To broil: Arrange the chicken on an unheated broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until no pink remains, turning once. Add cheese the last minute of cooking.
