How to Make the Best Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt
Smoky mayo, buttery avocado, lean chicken and two melty cheeses grilled until golden
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 avocados peeled, pitted and sliced
- 1 loaf unsliced Italian or other white bread
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce
- 1/2 tsp. lime juice
- butter or mayonnaise for grilling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice each chicken breast crosswise so you have 2 thinner breasts. You should end up with 4 thin breasts. Place chicken in a glass baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
- Dice the chipotle peppers. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Slice the bread into 8 thick slices (about 1/2 inch) and spread one side with softened butter or mayonnaise.
- Build the sandwich: Spread chipotle mayonnaise onto the unbuttered side of the bread. Layer the grated cheddar, sliced avocados, cooked chicken and 2 slices of American cheese and top with another slice of bread. Grill until golden and melted, 3-4 minutes each side.
