Ingredients
  

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

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 and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
  3. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each sourdough bread slice. 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 between the two avocado-spread slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken mixture.
  5. Top with the remaining two slices of bread, mayo-side up.
  6. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and add the olive oil. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  7. 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 and crispy exterior. Shredding the cheese fresh can enhance the meltiness.
