Main Ingredients
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 1 tbsp Chipotle powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 4 slices Sourdough bread
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 Avocado ripe, mashed

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Grill pan or panini press (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chipotle powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken slices and toss to coat evenly.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly browned.
  3. While chicken cooks, lightly toast sourdough bread slices.
  4. Spread mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toasted bread.
  5. Top avocado with a slice of cooked chicken and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each sandwich.
  6. Place sandwiches in a grill pan or panini press (optional) and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, you can broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For spicier melts, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning. You can substitute other cheeses, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for the Monterey Jack. Add some sliced jalapeños for extra heat!
