Chicken Avocado Bacon Sandwich Melt

Delicious Chicken Avocado Bacon Sandwich Melt with chicken meat, avocado slices, bacon, cheese and a homemade chipotle sauce.

There are those kinds of sandwiches that you make to take on a picnic or perhaps a school lunch for the children. A cold sandwich with your basic meats and veggies. However, there are those kinds of sandwiches you make when you want to have a laid back kind of dinner but still expect a WOW factor. Or when you aren’t in the mood to cook but want something that will be oh-so-satisfying. My friends, buckle in and enjoy because have I got a sandwich for you!!. Chicken meat combined with bacon, slices of avocado and loaded with cheese. The homemade chipotle sauce just takes sandwiches to a whole new level. Once the sandwich is toasted, everything melts and is like a party in your mouth!!

You can use your favorite cheese. Add less or more than indicated. We LOVE cheese so we go all out and I double the indicated amount. Add cheese as desired. Same with the chipotle sauce. The recipe makes a generous portion of the dressing and can be used on two sandwiches if you like a light dressing.

I love to cook this sandwich in my panini press. The bread is so crunchy and delicious. One of the best investments I’ve made. We use it all the time for sandwiches. If you don’t have one, just toast the sandwich on a dry skillet. You can also lightly oil the skillet and add sandwich once skillet is hot. Cook on medium heat so the cheese melts but doesn’t burn, flip one.

This dressing has a bit of a kick to it. I use two teaspoons of Sriracha (or Hot Sauce), if you don’t want it too spicy, add one teaspoon and taste the dressing to see if want to add more hot sauce.

We really like greens so I always add cilantro or parsley, whatever I have on hand. Kids don’t care for herbs, so I leave it off of their sandwiches.

Note: Rotiserrie chicken may be used. Canned chicken may be used as well!. 🙂
