Ingredients
1 ciabatta loaf
2 skinless chicken breasts
4 slices jack cheese
1 tsp Big Poppa’s Jallelujah Lime Seasoning
1 tsp Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Seasoning
2 jalapeños, diced (remove seeds and veins for less heat)
1 lime, juiced
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
½ cup pineapple, diced
1 avocado, chopped
1 tbsp mayo
4 lettuce leaves
1 tbsp ghee or oil
Directions
Make the Salsa:
Chop the red onion, jalapeños, pineapple, and cilantro. Add everything to a bowl and squeeze in fresh lime juice. Sprinkle with Big Poppa’s Jallelujah Lime Seasoning and mix. Fold in the chopped avocado and set aside.
Prep the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pound them thin for even cooking. Season generously with Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Seasoning.
Fire Up the Griddle:
Preheat the griddle over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Place the chicken breasts on the griddle and cook through, flipping once. Pro tip: Add ghee for extra richness.
Melt the Cheese:
When the chicken is nearly done, place jack cheese slices on top. Cover with a lid or dome to melt the cheese perfectly.
Toast the Bread:
On the other side of the griddle, toast the ciabatta bread until golden.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Spread mayo on the bottom half of the bread. Lay down a lettuce leaf (this helps prevent a soggy bun). Stack on the cheesy chicken breast. Spoon on a generous amount of avocado-pineapple salsa. Top with the other half of the toasted ciabatta.
Slice & Serve:
Cut into portions and serve while hot. Enjoy the crunch, the heat, and the bold flavors in every bite!
