Servings: 4 sandwiches

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

For the Chicken

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

For the Chipotle Mayonnaise

For the Sandwich

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

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slice each chicken breast crosswise to create two thinner cutlets. You should have four thin chicken cutlets in total. 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 bakes, dice the chipotle peppers. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and diced chipotle peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
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.
Assemble the 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.
Grill the sandwiches on the preheated griddle or skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

This recipe is great for a quick lunch or a satisfying weeknight dinner. You can adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers.
