Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich

In a mixing bowl, combine thinly sliced chicken breast with olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Add the seasoned chicken and pan-fry until fully cooked and golden brown on both sides.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the bread. Place a loaf of Italian bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with a mixture of melted butter and chopped fresh parsley.

Sprinkle shredded Italian cheese blend over the herbed butter.

Place the bread in the oven on the broil setting until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown and toasty. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes on a cutting board.

Slice the rested chicken into strips.

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and carefully slice it open lengthwise, like a sub roll.

Place slices of pepper jack cheese inside the warm bread to melt.

In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with sweet onion teriyaki sauce.

Layer the saucy chicken onto the cheese inside the bread.

Add your desired toppings, such as shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, pickles, banana peppers, and black olives.

Drizzle mayonnaise, Italian dressing, and more sweet onion teriyaki sauce over the toppings. Season with a little more salt and pepper if desired.

Close the sandwich, slice in half, and serve immediately.
