Grilled Cajun Chicken Sandwich




Source of Recipe


: Better Homes and Gardens


List of Ingredients




• 4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 12 ounces total)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
• 2 - 4 tablespoons Thousand Island salad dressing
• 3 - 4 dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
• 4 strips roasted red pepper
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 kaiser or whole wheat buns, split and toasted


Recipe



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.
