- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato

Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the Cajun seasoning.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the zesty mayonnaise by mixing mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Spread the zesty mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, grilled chicken breast, tomato slices, and red onion slices. Add the top half of the bun to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Cajun Chicken Sandwich!
