Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each chicken breast during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes into thick slices and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the hot sauce until well combined.
To assemble each sandwich, spread a tablespoon of the spicy mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cheesy chicken breast on top, followed by a lettuce leaf and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and enjoy your Spicy Chicken Deluxe!
