Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Chipotle Chicken Sandwich.
Step 1
Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and pan-fry them until they are beautifully browned and no longer pink inside, which should take about 10 minutes on each side. This is where the magic begins!
Step 2
Next, sprinkle the chicken with red wine vinegar, fresh lime juice, white sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Add in the chopped green onion, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Continue to pan-fry for an additional 5 minutes on each side, allowing those flavors to meld together beautifully. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and keep it warm while you prepare the rest.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the light mayonnaise and minced chipotle peppers. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer this spicy goodness to a bowl and stir in the chopped green onion and sweet pickle relish for an extra kick of flavor.
Step 4
Now, itβs time to toast the sourdough bread slices until they are golden and crispy. This will add a delightful crunch to your sandwich!
Step 5
To assemble your sandwiches, take 4 slices of the toasted sourdough and layer each with a generous 1/4 cup of torn lettuce, followed by a succulent chicken breast and a slice of mozzarella cheese. Spread the remaining slices of bread with the chipotle mayonnaise and place them on top to create a delicious sandwich. Serve these spicy delights while theyβre still warm, and enjoy!
