recipe

  • Step 1
    Halve the avocado & remove the pit. Scoop the avocado into a small bowl & mash with a fork. Squeeze in the lime juice & add a pinch of salt. Mix it all together.
  • Step 2
    Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Halve the chicken lengthwise.
  • Step 3
    Season the chicken with a pinch of salt & rub taco seasoning all over to coat. Drizzle with olive oil & spread evenly.
  • Step 4
    Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken & cook undisturbed on the first side until well seared, about 4-5 min. Flip, cover & cook undisturbed on the second side until fully cooked, about 5-7 more min. (Internal temp should reach 165°F.) Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
  • Step 5
    Lay pepper jack cheese over the chicken. Cover the plate to let the cheese melt.
  • Step 6
    Halve the ciabatta roll & toast (optional). Layer the chicken on the bottom half of bread. Top with smashed avocado & close the sandwich. Halve the sandwich & serve. Enjoy!
