Description

Chipotle chicken + refried black beans + havarti cheese + homemade chipotle ketchup + ranch = deliciousness!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1 whole Breast Chicken, Brined (See Note)
  • ½ cups Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Agave Syrup
  • 2 whole Chipotles In Adobo
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds, Toasted
  • FOR THE CHIPOTLE KETCHUP:
  • 3 Tablespoons Ketchup
  • ½ whole Chipotles In Adobo
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • FOR ASSEMBLING THE SANDWICH:
  • 4 slices French Bread
  • 1 whole Avocado
  • ½ cups Refried Black Beans
  • 4 slices Havarti Cheese
  • 4 Tablespoons Ranch Dressing

Preparation

Note: About 1 hour before you begin preparing the dish, place chicken in a large plastic bag with enough water to cover completely to create brine. Add salt and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Remove chicken from brining solution and dry. Cut in half and set aside.

Combine olive oil, agave syrup, chipotles in adobo, garlic, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and cumin seeds in a food processor and pulse 4-5 times to create sauce for the chicken.

Place both chicken and sauce in a bag and let marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Remove chicken from marinade and grill until cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes per side.

Make chipotle ketchup by combining ketchup, chipotles in adobo, white vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Assemble sandwiches by scooping 1/2 of an avocado onto each sandwich with 1/2 of the beans, chicken, havarti, chipotle ketchup, and ranch.

Enjoy!

I admit, I didn’t exactly make this sandwich. The marinade for the chicken sounded so good, but I didn’t have any french bread or rolls or anything, so I made the chicken and used it in quesadillas. It was so good! Super flavor, not too spicy for the young ‘uns.
