Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf focaccia cut to 1 sandwich size or 1 ciabatta roll
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 2 ounces rotisserie chicken shredded
- A few leaves cilantro
- 1 tablespoon sweet cherry peppers seeds removed & very thinly sliced
- 1 slice white cheddar cheese cut in half
- 1/4 large ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce (1 chipotle and surrounding sauce)
- 1/4 cup mayo best foods
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chipotle mayo by blending all the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate to enhance the flavors.
- Preheat your oven on broil with the rack set in the center.
- Slice the focaccia into a sandwich size and then cut it in half. Spread softened butter on both cut sides and sprinkle garlic powder if desired.
- Broil the sandwich for 45 to 90 seconds until golden, then flip and toast the other side. Remove from the oven when toasted.
- On the bottom half, spread about 1 tablespoon of chipotle mayo, then layer the shredded chicken and cheese.
- Broil again for 30 to 90 seconds until the cheese melts, watching closely to prevent burning.
- After broiling, add sweet cherry peppers, sliced avocado, and cilantro on top of the melted cheese.
- Spread more chipotle mayo on the top half of the sandwich, place it on top, and gently press down. For a panini touch, press with a heavy pan and warm in the oven for another 30 to 60 seconds.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
Notes
For added flavor, let the chipotle mayo sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before using.
Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients.
This sandwich is best consumed fresh as it doesn’t store well.
