Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced crosswise into 4 thin cutlets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Chipotle Mayonnaise
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sandwich
  • 1 loaf unsliced Italian or other white bread sliced into 8 thick slices
  • 2 avocados peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 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 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  2. 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.
  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 the sandwiches: Spread the chipotle mayonnaise onto the unbuttered side of the bread slices. Layer with grated cheddar cheese, sliced avocados, cooked chicken, and 2 slices of American cheese. Top with another slice of bread.
  5. Grill the sandwiches on the prepared griddle or skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, you can toast the bread slices lightly before assembling the sandwiches.
