AWARD WINNING CHIPOTLE CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Yesterday I watched a film titled "CHEF", where the chef ran a food truck business and sold very tasty meat sandwiches. Because of that today I decided to make this "CHIPOTLE CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH"

And you know? it tastes very delicious even though I don't use the same sandwich ingredients as in the film that uses smoked meat but I prefer using chicken meat !!

The chipotle sauce is super easy to make and can be stored in the fridge for weeks. Once you taste it once it becomes kind of addicting because it has a spicy and creamy flavor. You basically whip all the ingredients for it in the food processor and that’s it!
