Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper For seasoning
  • Olive oil For drizzling
For the Chipotle Mayonnaise
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce Diced
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper For seasoning
For Assembly
  • 1 loaf unsliced Italian or other white bread Sliced into 8 thick slices
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese Grated
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 2 avocados Peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • Butter or mayonnaise For grilling bread

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice each chicken breast crosswise to create 4 thin breasts total. Place the chicken in a glass baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Dice the chipotle peppers. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and diced peppers. Season with salt and pepper, and set the mixture aside.
  3. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Slice the bread into 8 thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
  4. Build the sandwich: Spread the chipotle mayonnaise onto the unbuttered side of the bread. Layer with grated cheddar, sliced avocados, the cooked chicken, and 2 slices of American cheese. Top with another slice of bread.
  5. Grill the sandwich until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Notes

This recipe works well with leftover cooked chicken. If you use gluten-free bread, the sandwich still holds together well for a satisfying meal.
