Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Use any neutral oil if preferred.
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Can be swapped with whole-grain or gluten-free options.
  • 1 medium Ripe Avocado Select firm avocados for the best texture.
  • 8 ounces Smoked Chicken Breast Substitute with grilled or rotisserie chicken.
  • 4 tablespoons Peppadew Peppers Roasted red peppers or mild pickled peppers work well as substitutes.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Chopped Cilantro Optional but highly recommended.
  • 2 slices Dairy-Free Cheese Slice Regular cheese can be used if dairy isn't a concern.
For the Chipotle Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Chipotle Sauce Blend of chipotle adobo sauce, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the chipotle adobo sauce, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Set this flavorful sauce aside.
  2. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to warm for about 2 minutes. Brush olive oil on the outer sides of two slices of sourdough bread.
  3. Carefully lay one slice of sourdough, oiled side down, in the skillet. Layer it with a slice of dairy-free cheese, followed by smoked chicken, avocado, Peppadew peppers, and cilantro. Finish with the second slice of bread, oiled side up.
  4. Cook the sandwich in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Press down with a spatula for even toasting.
  5. Gently flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for a minute, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid sogginess. Cook at medium-high heat for optimal toast without burning. Press down lightly while toasting for even browning.
