For the Chicken

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
For the Chipotle Mayonnaise
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce diced
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
For the Sandwich
  • 1 loaf unsliced Italian or other white bread slice into 8 thick slices
  • 2 avocados peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • for grilling butter or mayonnaise

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Glass baking dish
  • Small bowl
  • Griddle or skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slice each chicken breast crosswise to create thinner cutlets, resulting in 4 thin breasts. Place the chicken in a glass baking dish, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F degrees.
  2. While the chicken roasts, dice the chipotle peppers. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and diced chipotle peppers. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Set this chipotle mayonnaise aside.
  3. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Slice the bread into 8 thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter or mayonnaise.
  4. Assemble your sandwiches: Spread the chipotle mayonnaise onto the unbuttered side of each bread slice. Layer with grated cheddar cheese, sliced avocados, the cooked chicken, and 2 slices of American cheese. Top with another slice of bread. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes

This sandwich is a delightful way to use leftover grilled chicken or to quickly prepare a satisfying meal. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spice level. Enjoy this flavorful and comforting sandwich!
