Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 pieces ciabatta rolls
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 whole red onion
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix it with the mayonnaise to create a creamy spread.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill until golden and warm, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the avocado-mayo mixture on the bottom halves of the ciabatta rolls. Layer with lettuce leaves, slices of tomato, grilled chicken, and thinly sliced red onion. Top with the other halves of the rolls.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chipotle Grilled Chicken with Avocado Sandwich!
