Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Mixture
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese low-fat
For Assembly
  • 1/2 cup mashed avocado fresh works, one large avocado
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

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, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and stir well to combine.
  3. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place two slices mayo-side down on a chopping board. Spread the other side of these two slices with mashed avocado.
  4. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly onto the avocado-spread slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken mixture. Top with the remaining two slices of bread, mayo-side up.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and add the olive oil. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Serve the sandwiches warm.

Notes

Use low heat to ensure the cheese melts completely without burning the bread. Do not skimp on the mayonnaise, as it creates a golden, crispy exterior. Shredding the cheese fresh can improve the meltiness.
