Chipotle Chicken Bacon Toastie
Use up the leftover chicken in your fridge and whip up this chipotle chicken bacon toasted sandwich for lunch.
Servings: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce diced
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise Plus extra for grilling
- 2 slices artisanal sandwich bread like sourdough or rye
- 1/2 oz. sliced cheddar cheese
- 1/2 oz. sliced Monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken
- 1/2 tomato-on-the-vine sliced thin
- 2 bacon slices cooked
Instructions
- Mix together the diced chipotle pepper and the mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- Evenly spread the mayo mixture on both slices of bread.
- Add half of the cheese to one slice of bread. Make sure to mix it up so you have both types on the slice.
- Add the cooked chicken, sliced tomato, and bacon to that same slice of bread. Top the rest of the cheese on your fixings.
- Add the other slice of bread on top, chipotle mayo side facing down.
- Heat up a skillet (preferably cast-iron) on medium-low heat.
- Spread mayonnaise on the top slice of the sandwich that is facing up.
- Flip the sandwich so the mayo side goes on the skillet. Let it toast for 3 minutes.
- Spread mayonnaise on the other side of bread, facing up. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
I like to use up two slices of my sourdough bread for this recipe.
