Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Cheese:
- 2 ounces (56 grams) smoked chicken breast, sliced
- 1 slice Chao creamy original cheese
Bread and Base:
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients:
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 3 Peppadew peppers, sliced
- 1 tablespoon (2 grams) fresh chopped cilantro
Chipotle Sauce:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chipotle adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) coarse salt
Instructions
- Prepare the chipotle sauce by whisking together all ingredients until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved, tasting and adjusting seasonings as needed.
- Lightly coat one side of each bread slice with oil, then arrange the first slice oil-side down on a clean surface.
- Layer sliced cheese directly onto the bread, followed by shredded chicken, and generously spread the prepared chipotle sauce across the inner surface.
- Carefully place sliced avocado over the chicken, then top with additional cheese to ensure maximum melting potential.
- Position the second bread slice on top, with the oiled side facing outward, creating a complete sandwich structure.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat for approximately 3-4 minutes, then gently place the assembled sandwich into the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy, with cheese beginning to melt, then carefully flip the sandwich.
- Continue cooking the opposite side for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring both sides are evenly toasted and cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Customize the chipotle sauce by adjusting spice levels with more or less adobo sauce from the canned chipotles.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation, saving time without compromising flavor.
- Select a sturdy bread like sourdough or thick-cut white bread to prevent sogginess and maintain a crispy exterior.
- Try different cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked gouda for unique flavor profiles.
