Recipe: Spicy Chicken Sandwiches

So on Sunday, Jacob and I decided to have black bean

burgers for dinner, since I made these for dessert:

Except I used half as many strawberries and added blueberries and raspberries!

We don't eat a lot of carbs, let alone sandwiches.
So we decided to see how many different sandwiches and burgers we could make to use up all the buns!
Sunday = Black Bean Burgers
Monday = Salmon burgers (Jacob made and they were delicious!)

Tonight??
Spicy chicken sandwiches!!

I used this marinade but made my own Cajun seasoning.
And since I didn't have lemon pepper, I just added the juice
of one lemon. Then I mushed it all up,
added the chicken breasts and they sat in the fridge for about
4 whole hours!

Note: I didn't add oil to the pan because there's oil in the marinade.

To go with the sandwiches, I looked for inspiration on Pinterest
and decided in the end to make my version of a Southwestern Salad.

For my salad, I used Romaine lettuce, 2 avocados, 1/2 of a yellow and orange pepper (I really like my food to be colorful!), half a can of black beans (rinsed) and 2 tomatoes. 

Then I grated just a little bit of cheddar cheese to top it off.

For the dressing, I used the juice from one lime, 1/2 cup olive oil, one bunch of cilantro chopped and 3 tablespoons of sour cream, with salt and pepper to taste. I put all of it in the food processor.

It was delicious! A nice mix up from the normal salad, ya know?

As I normally do, I went all out and was making cocktails too!

On Sunday, I made Sangria, or at least my version.

In a big a bowl I put 1 container of blueberries,

1 container of raspberries,

1/2 a container of strawberries, cut up,

and 1/4 a watermelon, cut up.

On top of that, a poured

1 liter bottle of white wine,

1 bottle of Framboise,

2 shots of Citron vodka,

3 shots of Ruby Red vodka 

and just a splash of cranberry/raspberry juice.

After a day in the fridge, man that stuff is delicious!

For Jacob, I made him a grapefruit and lime French gimlet.

It's basically 2 shots of gin on top of three big ice cubes, 

fill the glass 3/4 the way with club soda.

On top, splash a good drop of lime juice and grapefruit juice,

and a splash of St Germain.

I shook once in a shaker and added the peel from the grapefruit. 

It was delicious and I don't even like gin!

Overall, it was a successful dinner!

Do you have a favorite way to make chicken sandwiches?

Or how about Sangria??
