Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chipotle Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup chipotles in adobo
  • 1 lemon juice to taste
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • As needed olive oil for brushing
  • 2 slices gouda cheese
  • 1/2 avocado sliced or smashed
  • As needed grilled chicken cooked
  • As needed Papadew peppers
  • As needed cilantro

Equipment

  • Pan
  • Blender or food processor

Method
 

  1. Combine the mayo, chipotles in adobo, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is smooth.
  2. Brush one side of each slice of sourdough bread with olive oil.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices in the pan, brushed side down, and toast until golden brown.
  4. Remove the bread from the pan. Spread the chipotle sauce on the un-toasted side of both slices.
  5. Layer the sandwich components on one slice: top with cilantro, gouda cheese, grilled chicken, avocado, and papadew peppers.
  6. Place the second slice of bread on top, sauce-side down. Return the assembled sandwich to the pan. Continue heating, flipping once, until both outer sides are golden and the cheese is melted.

Notes

This sandwich works well with leftover cooked chicken. If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of chipotles in adobo in the sauce.
