Cajun Chicken BLT, Millie's image

It was love at first bite with this delicious chicken BLT. The meat is juicy and full of Cajun spice. We really liked the kick of flavor from the aioli paired with the smoky bacon. The provolone cheese melts nice and gooey. This definitely tastes like a gourmet chicken sandwich you'd pay a fortune for at the deli.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium boneless chicken breasts
2-4 slice bacon (I used one per sandwich)
Tony Chachere's Cajun or Creole seasoning, to taste
2 slice smoked provolone cheese
2 slice tomato
lettuce leaves
1/2 tsp coconut oil
1 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 1/2 Tbsp horseradish mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
2 sandwich buns /rolls

Steps:

  • 1. Pound out chicken so that it's thickness is pretty even. Shake Cajun seasonings onto both sides of chicken. The more you use, the spicier it gets (and saltier, so keep that in mind). Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can do this part the day before if you want.
  • 2. Clean up work area. In a medium pan, fry bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towel. Pour off bacon grease (I save it in a jar) or you can use it to fry chicken in and omit the coconut oil altogether.
  • 3. While bacon is frying, wash lettuce and dry with a paper towel. Slice tomato. Mix mayo and horseradish mustard together. Salt and pepper together to taste. Set aside.
  • 4. Add coconut oil to a pan (unless you want to use the bacon grease). Pan fry chicken in the same pan you fried the bacon in. * You can also grill the chicken instead.* About 5-7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Top with smoked provolone cheese.
  • 5. Smear mayo and mustard mixture onto rolls/buns. Add chicken and top with bacon, tomato, and lettuce. Enjoy!
