Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 4 tbsp chipotle adobo sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese low-fat, divided
- 1/2 cup mashed avocado about 1 large avocado
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 –5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk chipotle adobo sauce, ketchup, honey, and vinegar until smooth.
- Stir in shredded chicken and half the cheddar cheese until well coated.
- Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice (this side will face out). Place mayo-side down on a board, then spread mashed avocado on the other side.
- Divide chicken mixture between two slices, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and top with the other slices, mayo-side up.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low heat, drizzle with olive oil, and place sandwiches in the pan.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Tip: Cook on low heat so the cheese melts without burning the bread.
