Equipment

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 bowl. Stir well to combine.
  3. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place the slices mayo-side down on a chopping board. Spread the other side of two slices with mashed avocado.

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 will result in the best melt.
