Chipotle Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Juice of 1 lime
• 
  
  

For the Chipotle Mayo:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1-2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sandwich:

• 4 slices of your favorite bread (brioche or ciabatta works well)
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomato
• Sliced avocado (optional)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
   • Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

2. Prepare the Chipotle Mayo:

   • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the spice level according to your preference. Set aside.

3. Cook the Chicken:

   • Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

4. Toast the Bread:

   • While the chicken is resting, toast the bread slices on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. Assemble the Sandwich:

   • Spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom slice of bread.
   • Layer with lettuce, sliced tomato, and sliced avocado (if using).
   • Add the sliced chicken on top, then finish with another dollop of chipotle mayo and the top slice of bread.
   • 
     
     
     

6. Serve:

   • Cut the sandwich in half and serve with your favorite sides, like chips or a salad.
