Dan's Favorite Supersized Southwestern Chicken Sandwich
"I saw Sara Moulton make this sandwich on Food Network. My friend Dan loves it and is always thrilled when I make it for him. It is a great sandwich to serve while watching football on TV. It's pretty spicy, so adjust accordingly."

Great combination of flavors. Only thing missing is a little texture like lettuce, bacon, and/or onion rings. Definitely a keeper! -
Ate waaaaaaaaaay too much and I can just see the headlines now, "Woman Found Dead with Southwestern Chicken Sandwich Stuffed in Her Mouth." Made for PRMR. -
If I could I would give this way more than five stars...it was completely awesome ( and that's a quote coming from DH's mouth!!).<br/>This was my first time using chipotles ( although eaten plenty in the U.S)-I could never track any down in the UK, and has taken me 18 months to find them here in Oz..but it was so worth all of the effort...the beautiful smokineness of the chilli is a great partner to cool creamy mayo.<br/>I used our favourite dry rub on the chicken ( recipe #444453) and tiger rolls instead of ciabatta.<br/>As previously mentioned, Pepperjack cheese is not available here ( more's the pity..I love it!), so I subbed Aussie Jack and threw in a few chilli flakes to pep it up a little.<br/>This is a truly gargantuan sandwich, but oh so delicious...DH is still talking about, so I'm guessing that this will become a permanent fixture around here- not that I'm complaining!!<br/>Heed my warning though...make sure that you have plenty of napkins etc on hand..this is one messy monster!!<br/>Thanks MamaJ...for a really fab recipe!<br/>Made for PRMR. -
Wow! This was so yummy, filling, and yes drip off the elbows messy. Made only one very small change and that was to ciabatta rolls instead of a loaf and that was because that's what we had on hand. Other than that no changes made and thought the spicy was perfect. Loved the smoke flavor the chipotle gave this sandwich. Thanks so much for the post. -
We halved this and made it for a midnight snack/meal lol. The only ciabatta loaf I could find had olives and chives in it, but I think it just added to the flavor! I searched every grocery store in the area any couldn't find chipotle chilis anywhere so used chipotle sauce. We used regular cheddar because pepper jack is hard to find here (I need another trip to the US I think!). DH rated this as awesome, but I didn't like that the toasting to melt the cheese hardened the edges of the bread to a very hard consistancy. The taste however was great! And I know DH wants to, at the very least, make your mayo/chipotle sauce again!

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time.
<br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together.
<br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites.
<br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies.
