Chipotle Chicken Club Sandwich Recipe with Avocado & Bacon

Here’s a little secret: sometimes I save time and use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking one from scratch. After passing Costco’s tempting display of aromatic, oversized rotisserie chickens, one often finds its way into my cart. And that’s fine—rotisserie chicken makes quick, flavorful meals, like these Chipotle Chicken Club Sandwiches.

What makes this a chipotle sandwich is the mayo. A simple homemade chipotle mayo comes together in seconds in a blender or food processor and adds smoky heat that pairs perfectly with tender rotisserie chicken, crisp bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Grill the assembled sandwich until the bread is toasty and the cheese (if using) melts—resulting in a fast, satisfying meal.

Choosing the right bread matters. While homemade bread is wonderful, for this sandwich you want a crusty roll that stands up to grilling. Torta rolls work beautifully: crisp exterior and chewy interior. If you find similar crusty rolls at your store, they’ll give the sandwich the texture it needs.

To make the chipotle mayo, pick up a small can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, usually found in the Hispanic foods aisle. You only need a little—one pepper and a bit of sauce will typically give a pleasant level of heat. If you prefer milder flavors, start with half a pepper, taste, and add more as desired.

Optional additions like avocado slices elevate the sandwich further. If you want a lighter spread, try making the chipotle sauce with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a tangy, lower-fat alternative. Either way, the sandwich is delicious as written and easy to adapt to your preferences.

Enjoy!
