How to Make a Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt Better than Panera
As of a few months ago, the only thing I had ever ordered from Panera was their broccoli cheddar soup. It wasn't until I discovered their Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt that I stopped ordering the famous soup.
As soon as I took my first bite I realized that I had wasted so many orders by not getting the heavenly sandwich sooner. I devoured it and the rest is history (I've gotten it ever since).
After habitually ordering the same sandwich so many times I decided to make a version of it myself since it seemed like a simple recipe. To my surprise, it was tricky to master and took a few months to perfect but the wait was totally worth it. I was quite impressed with myself at how similar my sandwich tasted to Panera's.
The sandwich is super easy to make and only has a few simple ingredients. It's perfect for a quick lunch between classes and is actually pretty healthy, too.
