This Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt is a Panera Copycat Recipe and it is absolutely packed full of flavor! Plus, this Chipotle Chicken Sandwich is so easy to make in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ciabatta rolls, sliced in half sandwich style
- 1 store bought ready rotisserie chicken, skin removed and hand pulled/shredded into pieces and equally divided into 4 portions, for each sandwich
- 4 slices of smoked gouda cheese
- 1 avocado, pit and skin removed, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 cup peppadew sweet piquante peppers, juices strained and diced into strips
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
- 1/2 cup of chipotle mayo, store-bought or my make your own in 5 minutes with my Chipotle Mayonnaise recipe
Instructions
- If you are making homemade Chipotle Mayonnaise, start with that 5 minute recipe first.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Split apart the ciabatta bread and place the rolls open faced on a cookie sheet, so you have 8 pieces of bread with the inside of the bread facing you. Layer the bottom halves with pulled chicken and cover each one with a slice of smoked gouda. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Spread the Chipotle Mayonnaise on the top half of the toasted ciabatta. Layer the avocado, peppadew peppers, and cilantro over the top of the chicken and cheese.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Serve hot and enjoy!
Equipment
Notes
- I suggest waiting to add the chipotle mayo and toppings until after the ciabatta chicken sandwiches with gouda cook in the oven. This keeps the toppings and chipotle spread fresh.
- If you're not crazy about spicy, go easy on the chipotle spread and make sure the seeds are removed from the peppadew peppers.
