- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 tbsp Tajìn Classico

Instructions
For the seasoning blend
- Combine onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and a pinch of brown sugar.
For the chicken
- In a skillet, toast potato rolls with butter and oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
- Thinly slice chicken breasts, then drizzle with olive oil. Season generously with Tajín Classico, and the seasoning blend.
- Heat a skillet over high heat with neutral oil. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, undisturbed, until a blackened, charred crust forms. Once fully cooked, top with pepper jack cheese slices. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the skillet, cover, and let the steam melt the cheese to a gooey perfection.
To assemble
- Take some of the Hellmann’s Chili Lime Mayonnaise and spread it generously on the toasted side of both buns.
- On the bottom bun, layer fresh lettuce, seasoned tomato slices, the blackened chicken breast with melted pepper jack cheese, and pickled red onions. On the top bun, add creamy avocado slices.
- Put the sandwich together, slice in half. Serve with chips or fries and enjoy!
