Ingredients
- 4 ciabatta rolls
- 2 grilled and sliced chicken breasts
- 4 slices smoked Gouda cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup baby arugula
- 4 slices tomato
- 1/4 cup chipotle mayo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Season and Grill the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken over medium heat until cooked through, then slice it thinly.
2. Toast the Rolls: Lightly toast the ciabatta rolls until golden and crisp.
3. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with arugula, sliced chicken, smoked Gouda cheese, tomato, and avocado.
4. Top and Serve: Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich. Serve the Smoky Chipotle Chicken Sandwich immediately while the cheese is still warm and melty.
Notes
For an even smokier flavor, try grilling the chicken over charcoal or using a smoker instead of a traditional grill.
If you prefer a creamier texture, mash the avocado instead of slicing it and spread it on the bottom bun.
Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper Jack or cheddar, to complement the smoky chipotle flavors.
Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to balance the heat and sweetness.
