Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts slice each crosswise to create 4 thinner breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

For the Chipotle Mayonnaise

1 cup mayonnaise
2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce diced
1/2 tsp lime juice
salt and pepper to taste

For the Sandwich

1 loaf unsliced Italian or other white bread slice into 8 thick slices (about 1/2 inch)
2 avocados peeled, pitted and sliced
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
8 slices American cheese
butter or mayonnaise for grilling

Equipment

Oven
Glass baking dish
Small bowl
Griddle or skillet

Method

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slice each chicken breast crosswise to create thinner cutlets, resulting in 4 thin breasts. Place the chicken in a glass baking dish, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
While the chicken roasts, dice the chipotle peppers. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and diced chipotle peppers. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Set this chipotle mayonnaise aside.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Slice your bread into 8 thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter or mayonnaise.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the chipotle mayonnaise onto the unbuttered side of each bread slice. Layer with grated cheddar cheese, sliced avocados, the cooked chicken, and two slices of American cheese. Top with another slice of bread. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes

This sandwich is a family favorite, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Enjoy the creamy avocado, savory chicken, and melted cheese!
