Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Adobo seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 piece Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 piece Roma tomato
- 0.25 piece Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
- 2 pieces Kaiser rolls or burger buns
- 2 leaves Green leaf lettuce
Directions
Step 1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with adobo seasoning and coating them lightly with olive oil. Set them aside while you prepare the sauce.
Step 2
In a small bowl, finely chop the chipotle peppers and mix with mayonnaise and garlic powder to make the chipotle mayo. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash the avocado in a bowl, then mix in lime juice and salt to make a simple guacamole.
Step 4
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds. Pick and wash the cilantro leaves.
Step 5
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Toast the kaiser rolls or burger buns on the grill until lightly golden brown. This step adds a nice crunch and depth of flavor.
Step 7
Spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on both halves of the toasted buns.
Step 8
Place a leaf of green lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a grilled chicken breast.
Step 9
Top the chicken with a dollop of guacamole, a slice of tomato, a few rings of onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro leaves.
Step 10
Finish by placing the top half of the bun on the sandwich. Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as tortilla chips or a fresh salad.
