Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced crosswise into 4 thin breasts
  • 20 ml olive oil for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Chipotle Mayonnaise
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce diced
  • 0.5 tsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sandwich
  • 1 loaf unsliced Italian or other white bread sliced into 8 thick slices (about 1/2 inch)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 2 avocados peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 2-3 tbsp butter or mayonnaise for grilling

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slice each chicken breast crosswise to create 4 thin cutlets. 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 165F degrees.
  2. While the chicken bakes, prepare the chipotle mayonnaise. Dice the chipotle peppers. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and diced peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Slice the bread into 8 thick slices (about 1/2 inch thick). Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter or mayonnaise.
  4. Assemble your sandwiches. Spread the chipotle mayonnaise onto the unbuttered side of four bread slices. Layer with grated cheddar cheese, sliced avocados, the cooked chicken, and two slices of American cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
  5. Grill the sandwiches on the preheated griddle or skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
