Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Burger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce

Instructions
Start by preheating your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Rub the chicken breasts evenly with cajun seasoning, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Grill or cook the chicken breasts on the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once done, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl. Adjust hot sauce to your spice preference.
Slice the tomato into thick rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves and pickle slices.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the spicy mayo sauce on both halves of the toasted buns.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a grilled chicken breast, tomato slices, and pickles.
Cover with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Cajun Chicken Sandwich!
