Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with Bacon and Avocado image

This simple sandwich packs a ton of flavor without taking a lot of effort. The spicy chipotle mayonnaise adds a soft smoky heat to the chicken, and helps the buns get a deep crispness while they toast.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups shredded chicken, packed (great use for leftover roast chicken)
⅓ cup Hellmann's® Organic Spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise, plus more for toasting the buns
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 large soft potato rolls
1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
¼ large sweet onion, thinly sliced
½ cup sweet pickled peppers
6 slices crispy bacon
2 cups spring greens, lightly packed

Steps:

In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, Hellmann's® Organic Spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise and kosher salt. Set aside.
Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Spread potato rolls with ½ tablespoon Hellmann's® Organic Spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise on each side. Griddle till deeply golden brown and toasted.
To assemble sandwiches, divide chicken mixture between the buns and then top with avocado, onion, peppers, bacon, and spring greens. Replace the top bun on each sandwich and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.
Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
Cook the chicken properly: Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will dry out the chicken and make it tough.
Use a good quality bun: The bun is an important part of the sandwich, so choose one that is sturdy and flavorful.
Add your favorite toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheese.
Make it a meal: Serve your chipotle chicken sandwich with a side of fries, chips, or salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

The chipotle chicken sandwich is a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. With its smoky, spicy flavor and customizable toppings, it's sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
