Chicken Cheese Steaks Prepared Cajun Po-Boy Style with Cajun Seasoning
Cheesesteaks are delicious sandwiches made with thinly sliced beef that’s cooked, commonly accompanied by onions and peppers, topped with cheese (provolone or whiz) and placed into a bun. This variant of the sandwich, cajun style, features thinly sliced chicken in place of beef! The chicken is seasoned with cajun seasoning and cooked alongside the same onions and bell peppers before being covered with provolone until melted. The combination is then placed into a bun with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, creating a delightful sandwich!
