Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • lettuce leaves
  • tomato slices
  • avocado slices

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or grill pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Begin by seasoning your boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and chipotle sauce until smooth.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the honey chipotle sauce generously on both sides of the chicken, letting it caramelize slightly.
  4. While the chicken is finishing up, slice your sandwich rolls in half and toast them lightly in the oven or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
  5. On the bottom half of each roll, layer lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Place the glazed chicken breast on top, then cover with the top half of the roll.
  6. Serve your Sweet Heat Honey Chipotle Chicken Sandwiches immediately while the chicken is warm and the bread is toasty. Pair it with your favorite side for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Swap chicken breasts for thighs for juicier meat.
  • Use mild barbecue sauce instead of chipotle sauce for less heat.
  • Toast rolls well to prevent sogginess from juicy chicken.
  • Prepare chicken and glaze a day ahead for quick assembly.
  • Adjust chipotle sauce amount to control spiciness.
