Ingredients:

  • 60 ml high-quality mayonnaise
  • 10 ml adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
  • 5 ml fresh lime juice
  • 1 g smoked paprika
  • 4 thick slices sourdough bread (approx. 2cm each)
  • 225 g shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 1 large ripe avocado, thinly sliced
  • 115 g Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 small red onion, paper-thinly sliced
  • 30 g unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together 60 ml mayonnaise, 10 ml adobo sauce, 5 ml lime juice, and 1 g smoked paprika. Note: This creates a balanced, smoky base.
  2. Spread the chipotle crema evenly onto one side of all 4 sourdough slices.
  3. Place two bread slices crema side up and layer half of the 115 g of Monterey Jack cheese on them.
  4. Add the 225 g of shredded chicken on top of the cheese layer. Note: Dividing the chicken evenly ensures every bite is consistent.
  5. Arrange the thinly sliced avocado and red onion over the chicken.
  6. Top with the remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Note: This cheese sandwiching technique locks the filling in place.
  7. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, crema side down.
  8. Butter the exterior of the sandwiches with 30 g of softened butter.
  9. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear for 4 minutes per side. until deep golden and the cheese is oozing.
  10. Use a lid for the first 90 seconds. until you see the cheese beginning to soften and glisten. Make sure you don't rush the heat. If the pan is too hot, the butter will burn before the internal temperature of the chicken has a chance to rise. We are looking for a steady, medium heat that coaxes the bread into a golden state.
