Boneless chicken breasts dipped in melted butter and rolled in Cajun spices then pan seared and served on buns with lettuce, onion, and an avocado mayo.
4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 to 6 ounces each) pounded to a uniform thickness of about 3/4-inch
2 TBSP unsalted butter, melted
1 TBSP peanut oil
4 hamburger buns or split rolls
thinly sliced red onion
lettuce leaves
AVOCADO MAYO:
1 medium ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
2 TBSP mayonnaise
1 tsp fresh lime juice
1/8 tsp salt
DIRECTIONS
Mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and cayenne in a rimmed dish or pie plate, set aside.
Pour the melted butter into a separate rimmed dish or pie plate.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels then dip into the melted butter, flipping over to coat the chicken then lay the chicken into the spice mix and flip to coat in the spices.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
When the pan is hot add the oil and tilt to coat the bottom of the pan evenly with oil.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan, in batches if necessary, and cook until chicken is darkened and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side then transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
Make the avocado mayo: Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork then stir in the mayonnaise, lime juice, and salt until well combined.
Place the blackened chicken breast into your rolls and top with sliced onion, lettuce, and the Avocado Mayo.
