Cajun Chicken Mango Sandwich
It officially hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit today in Denver, Colorado. Craziness!!! It’s only May and we are in the 90s. What is summer going to bring? While battling the heat this delicious recipe has filled out bellies. The combination of cajun with the fresh mango was absolutely delicious. It’s an easy meal to make during the week or even during the weekend.
My recipe has you baking the chicken, but with the warmth coming, I recommend grilling the chicken for the added flavor of the grill and to keep the heat out of the house. We paid the sandwiches with homemade potato wedges, but feel free to pair with whatever side your heart desires. The grilled corn salad I posted the other day would be an amazing side as well.
