In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Tabasco chipotle sauce. Stir well until they are fully mixed together. You want a nice, creamy consistency that’s packed with flavor.
Set the sauce aside and get your focaccia bread. Cut the loaf into fourths, then slice each piece horizontally. This will give you the perfect sandwich shape for your melts.
Spread the chipotle mayonnaise on the bottom of each piece of bread. Be generous! You want every bite to be flavorful.
Next, sprinkle on the chopped cilantro. This will add a fresh, zesty note that will brighten up the sandwich.
Layer on the smoked chicken breast. Make sure to distribute it evenly so every bite has a delicious piece of chicken.
Add the peppadew peppers next, followed by the slices of avocado. The avocado will provide a creamy texture that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
Finish off the assembly with the gouda cheese. Place two slices on top of your sandwich to ensure that every bite is cheesy goodness.
Now, cover the sandwich with the top slice of focaccia bread. You’re building a hearty tower of deliciousness!
Before serving, pop the assembled sandwich under a broiler for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to melt. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
Once the cheese is melted, carefully remove the sandwich from the oven. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade Panera Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt.
