Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Mixture
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, low-fat Use 1/2 cup for the mixture
For Assembly
  • 1/2 cup mashed avocado, fresh About one large avocado
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or avocado oil For cooking

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Non-stick pan
  • Chopping board

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chipotle adobo sauce, ketchup, honey, and vinegar.
  2. Add the shredded cooked chicken, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and stir well to combine all ingredients.
  3. Spread one side of each bread slice with mayonnaise. Place the slices mayo-side down on a chopping board. Spread the other side of the same slices with the mashed avocado.
  4. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly onto two of the bread slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken mixture. Top these two slices with the remaining bread slices, ensuring the mayo-side faces up.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and drizzle with the olive oil. Add the sandwiches and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
  6. Serve the sandwiches warm.

Notes

Use low heat so the cheese melts completely without burning the bread exterior. Do not use too little mayonnaise; it helps create a golden, crisp outside. Shred the cheese yourself for the best melting results.
