INSTRUCTIONS
Butterfly each chicken breast by making a horizontal cut lengthways along the side of the chicken breast; don’t cut all the way through. Season each chicken breast with the Cajun spice and salt and set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 F.
Cut the ciabatta buns in half and toast. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bun and assemble the sandwiches with red onion, a slice of cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, and a lettuce leaf. Enjoy!
