Copycat Frontega Chicken Sandwich

Copycat Frontega Chicken Sandwich

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 8 slices multigrain bread
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 8 thin slices tomato
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion, separated into rings
  • ¼ cup lightly packed torn fresh basil
  • Cooking spray
Directions:
  1. Combine mayonnaise, yogurt and chipotles in a small bowl.
  2. Place 4 bread slices on a work surface; top each with 1 mozzarella slice. Then top each with 1/2 cup chicken, 2 tomato slices and 3 red onion rings; sprinkle with basil. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons chipotle-mayo mixture on each of the remaining 4 bread slices and place, mayo-sides down, onto the sandwiches. Press down firmly.
  3. Lightly coat both sides of the sandwiches with cooking spray. Heat a griddle, grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, place the sandwiches on the griddle (or pan). Place a heavy saucepan or skillet on top of the sandwiches. Cook until the bottoms are toasted, about 2 minutes. Flip and top again with the heavy pan. Cook until the other side is toasted, about 2 more minutes.
Notes:

Got leftover chicken? This copycat Frontega Chicken Sandwich is easy to make at home. You get smoky flavor and mild heat from the chipotle peppers, while the mayonnaise adds creaminess. The bread is super crispy, with basil adding freshness.
