Liked this a lot. I made as described except that I didn’t have sourdough bread so I used Italian bread, and I used the breast from a rotissary chicken, skin removed, instead of cooking raw chicken breasts. My chipotle peppers in adobo must have been weak ones because the sandwich wasn’t all that spicy. Next time I will check to make sure the chipotle/mayo sauce is good and spicy before I put it on the sandwich.
We really liked this sandwich especially the chipotle mayo. I will make this again.
My son loved this sandwich.I made home made hard buns, and followed the recipe,except I used jalapeo’s and left out the relish.He said this was the best sandwich he ever had.I’ll make this one alot. Thank you allrecipes.
Awesome meal. My hubby absolutely loved it!! We left the seeds in our peppers for extra heat though 🙂
