Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 cutlets
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sandwich Components
- 8 slices Texas toast
- 8 slices fully cooked bacon
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- Romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackening Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the blackening spice mix.
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels. Coat each side evenly with the blackening seasoning mix to ensure a flavorful crust.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a dark, flavorful crust. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Bacon: In a separate pan or in the oven, cook the fully cooked bacon slices until they are crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the Texas toast slices until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: On one slice of toasted Texas toast, layer romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves, a cooked blackened chicken cutlet, 2 slices of bacon, one slice of Swiss cheese, and tomato slices. Top with another slice of toasted Texas toast. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.
- Serve: Slice the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately while the chicken is warm and juicy.
Notes
- Adjust cayenne pepper according to your spice preference to make the chicken more or less spicy.
- You can substitute Texas toast with your favorite thick-cut sandwich bread.
- For a lighter option, use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
- To keep the sandwich warm before serving, wrap in foil and place in a low oven for a few minutes.
- Leftover blackened chicken works great for salads and wraps.
