Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich with Avocado and Bacon


Ingredients:
6 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 canned chipotle chile, plus 2 tablespoons of the adobo sauce
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe avocado, pitted
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
2 1/2 cups thinly sliced leftover chicken
4 thick slices bacon, cooked until crisp
1 large ripe tomato, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
8 slices focaccia or sourdough bread, lightly toasted

Directions:
1. In a blender, mini-chop, or food processor, pulse the sun-dried tomatoes, chipotle, adobo sauce, water, oil, vinegar, mustard, and brown sugar together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pulse again. Transfer to a small bowl.

2. In another small bowl, mash the avocado with half the cilantro and all of the lime juice. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Spread 4 of the slices of bread with the avocado mixture. Spread the remaining 4 pieces of bread with the sun-dried tomato-and-chipotle mixture, then layer on the chicken, bacon, tomato, onion, the remaining cilantro, and the bread. Cut in half and serve immediately.
