Ingredients:
1 lemon |
1 lime |
1 orange |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon adobo all-purpose seasoning |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
6 6 -ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts |
3/4 cup fresh tomato salsa, plus more for serving |
6 slices pepper jack cheese (about 8 ounces) |
6 challah rolls or other soft rolls, halved |
1 hass avocado, sliced |
Directions:
1. Finely grate the zest of the lemon, lime and orange into a medium bowl. Squeeze in the juice of each fruit. Add the chili powder, adobo seasoning and olive oil; whisk to combine. Add the chicken and coat well with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the chicken breasts until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side, turning once. Move the chicken to the cooler side of the grill (or reduce the heat on the stove) and top each piece with 1 tablespoon salsa and 1 slice cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Place a chicken breast on each roll bottom; add a few slices of avocado and cover with the roll top. Serve with more salsa, if desired.
