To make a spicy Cajun chicken sub similar to the ones from Firehouse Subs, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your preferred level of spiciness)
- 2 sub sandwich rolls
- Lettuce
- Tomato, sliced
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Pickles (optional)
Here's a step-by-step guide to making the spicy Cajun chicken sub:
1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan on medium heat.
2. Season the chicken breasts generously with Cajun seasoning, making sure to coat both sides.
3. Drizzle some olive oil over the seasoned chicken breasts to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the chicken on medium heat for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the spicy mayo sauce by mixing the mayonnaise and hot sauce together in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your desired level of spiciness.
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
7. Slice the sandwich rolls in half lengthwise, leaving one side connected to act as a hinge.
8. Spread the spicy mayo sauce on both sides of the bread.
9. Place a layer of lettuce on the bottom half of the roll, followed by the sliced Cajun chicken.
10. Top the chicken with sliced tomatoes, red onions, and pickles, if desired.
11. Close the sandwich, press it gently, and cut it in half if desired.
12. Serve your spicy Cajun chicken sub immediately and enjoy!
You can also customize the sub by adding additional toppings like cheese, avocado, or your favorite condiments.
