Cajun Chicken Sandwiches

Today I am featuring a recipe inspired by a sandwich that my husband always orders at a local restaurant. It is a chicken sandwich topped with a wonderful cajun seasoned mayonnaise.  He likes this sandwich so much that he wants me to make it every week.  The last time I made this meal I decided to freeze extra chicken so that it’s available to thaw out whenever he wants a sandwich.  The cajun mayo is so good you may find yourself dipping fries and tater tots in it. The spices that you see in this recipe are in your spice rack already so let’s get started with this yummy recipe.

We will start the recipe by stirring together the seasoning mix to flavor the meat and the mayo.  In a bowl mix: 

2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika

To make the Cajun mayo mix 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of ketchup with 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix in a bowl. Now set the mayo to the side until you are ready to put together the sandwiches. 

Then cook your chicken pieces in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sprinkle the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix. Cook the chicken until it reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.

 To put the sandwiches together, spread the mayo on each side of the bun.Add pieces of chicken to cover the bun.Add a slice of tomato and a piece of lettuce.

Now it is time to enjoy the perfect Cajun Chicken Sandwich.

Italian Beef Sandwiches

This sandwich is downright amazing!  It’s filled with meat, provolone cheese, onions, and green peppers.  When you put these wonderful ingredients on garlic bread, you have one delicious supper.  I made this recipe the other night when I was tired of my usual roast beef in the crockpot dinner seasoned with whatever spice I pull off of my spice rack and I was delighted by all of the flavors. So if you are looking for a supper that is a change from the ordinary, then try this wonderful sandwich.
First place a 4 pound beef roast in your slow cooker. Next, mix together 1 (0.7 oz.) package of Italian dry salad dressing mix, 1/2 cup of water, 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder in a bowl.

Pour the spices over the roast beef.Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours or high for 5 to 6 hours. Now you can shred the meat with a fork so it is ready to use on your sandwich.  You will have extra meat for leftovers.

When the meat is done cooking, you can get out the 16 ounce frozen garlic bread and cook it according to the package directions.

While the bread is cooking, chop up 1 onion and 1 green pepper in strips and sauce them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil a pan until tender.
