Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Toss chicken with 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, grated lemon rind and paprika. Heat remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil in a skillet over high heat, add chicken and sear for 2 minutes a side or until golden. Place in oven and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until juices run clear. Set aside.

Step 3

Mash avocado in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, coriander, green onions, lemon juice and sambal oelek. Stir in olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a food processor and combine.

Step 4

To assemble: slice ciabatta open and generously spread 1 cut side with avocado mayonnaise and the other with Tomato Chili Jam. Slice chicken and pile into the middle of the sandwich. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Step 5

Heat a panini or grill pan and grill sandwiches for 5 minutes, pressing down on the sandwich, or until warmed through.
