Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 sandwich buns, toasted
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Mix the chipotle in adobo, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
- Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Prepare the lime mayo by mixing mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow those juices to redistribute.
- Spread lime mayo on the toasted buns, then layer with lettuce, sliced tomato, grilled chicken, and avocado.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately, savoring the delightful blend of flavors.
