Ingredients
Coleslaw Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- kosher salt and pepper taste
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
Sandwich Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts trimmed
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning I use Weber's
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- red onion ring slices
- 4 burger buns
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
Instructions
- To make the coleslaw whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, granulated garlic, celery salt. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and use the smooth side of a meat mallet (or rolling pin) to flatten the chicken breasts so they have a uniform thickness, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts liberally with Cajun seasoning, about 1/2 teaspoon per side. Rub the seasoning into the chicken.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the chicken in the skillet until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest.
- Brush the buns with butter and toast in a pan or under the broiler.
- Once the buns have toasted, place the chicken breast on the bun, top with coleslaw and onion rings and top of bun. Serve.
