Ingredients

Chicken Preparation

4 pieces Chicken Breasts Boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning For seasoning the chicken

Pimento Cheese Spread

1 cup Pimento Cheese Store-bought or homemade

Honey Chipotle Mayo

1/2 cup Mayonnaise For the mayo base
2 tablespoons Honey Adjust to taste
1 teaspoon Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce Finely chopped

Bread Preparation

8 slices Sourdough Bread For the sandwich
2 tablespoons Butter For toasting the bread

Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Prepare the honey chipotle mayo by mixing mayonnaise, honey, and chipotle peppers in a bowl.
Cook the chicken on a grill or in a pan over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, toast the sourdough bread in a toaster or on a skillet with butter until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading pimento cheese on one slice of toasted sourdough, adding the cooked chicken, and topping with honey chipotle mayo and another slice of bread.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more chipotle peppers to the mayo. Pair with coleslaw or crispy fries for a complete meal.
