Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 egg
⅓ cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 bolillo rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Valentina®)
2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
½ avocado, sliced
3 slices tomato
2 lettuce leaves
1 tablespoon pickled carrots
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno peppers

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Seal chicken breast in a resealable zip-top plastic bag. Pound flat to 1/4-inch thickness. Add cornstarch and shake to coat.
  • Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken breast through the egg; leave it in the bowl. Add bread crumbs, cilantro, chipotle, oregano, cumin, and pepper to the bag; shake well. Lift chicken from the bowl, letting any excess egg drip off. Add to the bread crumb mixture. Shake and press the seasoned bread crumbs over the chicken breast.
  • Place bolillo buns in the preheated oven until warmed through and toasted, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce together in a small mixing bowl.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut the chicken in half lengthwise.
  • Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the spicy mayonnaise over both sides of the rolls. Add equal amounts of avocado, tomato, lettuce, carrots, and jalapenos to 2 halves. Add chicken and the tops of the rolls. Serve with the remaining spicy mayonnaise for dipping.
