If you closed your eyes while taking a bite of this juicy chicken breast coated in Cajun-style spices, topped with caramelized onion rounds and secret sauce, nestled between two buttery toasted buns, you’d think you were dining on a patio on Bourbon Street. Add a side of roasted potato wedges and you’ll be throwing Mardi Gras beads at yourself for making such a ridiculously tasty meal.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and peel onion; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick rounds. Halve buns. Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine 4 TBSP mayonnaise, 1 TBSP ketchup, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 tsp water, ½ tsp Blackening Spice, ¼ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, use 8 TBSP mayonnaise, 2 TBSP ketchup, 2 tsp hot sauce, 2 tsp water, 1 tsp Blackening Spice, and ½ tsp sugar.)

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ⅓ inch thick. Season all over with remaining Blackening Spice, salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. (Reduce heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly.) Turn off heat; transfer to a plate to rest. Wipe out pan.
