Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 green onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
⅓ cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
1 ½ tablespoons chopped green onion
1 ½ tablespoons sweet pickle relish
8 slices sourdough bread
4 slices mozzarella cheese
1 cup torn lettuce

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and pan-fry chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes per side.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with red wine vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, black pepper, 1 chopped green onion, garlic, and oregano; pan-fry until green onion is soft, an additional 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and keep warm.
Place light mayonnaise and chipotle pepper into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 1 1/2 tablespoon of chopped green onion and sweet pickle relish.
Toast sourdough bread slices.
Layer 4 bread slices each with 1/4 cup of lettuce, a chicken breast, and 1 mozzarella cheese slice. Spread remaining slices with chipotle mayonnaise and place on top to make sandwiches. Serve while still warm.
