BLACKENED CHICKEN SANDWICH
This recipe for Blackened Chicken has become one of my favorite recipes, and I'll definitely be doing it again. It's easy, and took only about 30 minutes from start to eat, which makes it great to cook when you've been working all day.

Steps:
- Mix up the Blackening Rub, and set it aside.
- In most cases, Chicken Breasts are really too thick for a sandwich. So, slice them in half using a filet knife being careful not to cut yourself.
- Oil the halved chicken, then coat with the rub. Work it in real well so that all parts of the chicken are coated.
- Set a pan to med / high, and add the butter and oil when it gets hot.
- When the butter has melted, and just barely beginning to smoke, add the chicken. Cook about 7 minutes on the first side, then turn it over and cook the other side. When done, set on paper towels for the grease to drain off.
- Ron's Note:.
- Don't turn the pan to too hot a temperature because all you'll do is burn the outside, and have raw meat in the middle. That's why I cook this chicken at a med / high temperature If you notice that it's beginning to burn, turn the heat down a little to insure that the inside gets done.
- I used Ciabatta Bread, sliced into a 3" piece, then halved with some of the insides removed.
- Lay on some lettuce, then the tomato, and finally set the Blackened Chicken on top. The lettuce on the bottom will keep any juices from soaking into the bread.
- Add the Chipotle Remoulade, top it, and you're ready to serve.
BLACKENED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH CAJUN SLAW
Spicy chicken with a cooling slaw topping. The original recipes says it serves 4, but I think since the breasts are cut in half, it probably serves more. From Nibble Me This blog: http://www.nibblemethis.com/2013/04/blackened-chicken-sandwich-with-cajun.html Note: Recommended to cook outside on a grill or burner.

Steps:
- Mix the dry rub ingredients together.
- To make the slaw: Put the cabbage, bell pepper and onion in a bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients together, pour over the veggies and toss to coat. Add a little of the dressing at a time until you get the consistency wanted. Can make ahead and refrigerate it for 2-3 hours before eating.
- Preheat a grill with a cast iron skillet or griddle plate to 450 degrees. (May, also, be cooked in cast iron using a burner.).
- Brush buns lightly with butter and toast until browned, about 15-30 seconds; set aside.
- Drizzle just enough of the melted butter (about 1 tablespoon) over the chicken breasts to lightly coat. Season with 1/2 of the dry rub. It should be pretty thick to form a 'crust'.
- Ladle a few tablespoons of the butter onto the hot griddle and place the cutlets onto the griddle seasoned side down. (Note: The butter may smoke a LOT. That's why it's cooked outside, just don't spill butter on the flames or it will flame up.) Cook until the edges of the cutlets start to turn white, about 3-5 minutes.
- Ladle the remaining butter over the chicken and season with the remaining dry rub. Flip and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 155-160 degrees, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove chicken and serve on toasted buns with the slaw.
