Ingredients
2 Tbsp. butter, divided and softened 2 slices sourdough bread (or other sliced white bread) 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise 3 tsp. canned chipotle adobo sauce, divided 1/2 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese 1 1/2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, seeded, peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken 2 Tbsp. BBQ sauce 1 Tbsp. waterInstructions
- Spread half of the butter thinly on one side of each sourdough bread slice and set aside. Place the remaining butter into a heavy bottom skillet and set aside.
- In a small bowl mix together mayonnaise and chipotle adobo sauce. Smear chipotle mayo evenly onto unbuttered side of bread.
- On another bread slice, sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly.
- Top cheese with half of the fresh California Avocado slices.
- In a small bowl mix together shredded chicken and BBQ sauce until well combined. Add the chicken onto the other slice of bread and put the slices together to form a sandwich.
- Heat the heavy bottom skillet on medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the sandwich to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side on medium heat or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Add in 1 Tbsp. of water to the bottom of the pan and place a lid over the sandwich. The steam from the water will help melt the cheese and make the sandwich cheesy and gooey.
- Remove from pan and serve.
Serving Suggestion: Great with a homemade tomato soup.
Beverage Pairing: Tall glass of cold water.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
