Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4-6 chicken breasts
  • 4-6 provolone cheese slices
  • 4-6 pretzel buns

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup honey, and 1 tsp lemon juice until smooth.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the mustard-honey mixture over them; turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each chicken breast about 3 minutes per side until golden.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 10 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F (74°C).
  • Top each chicken breast with a slice of provolone and return to the oven just until the cheese melts, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Assemble sandwiches by placing the cheesy chicken on pretzel buns and adding desired lettuce and tomato. Serve with extra honey mustard if desired.
