Ingredients

For the Jerk Chicken

½ Tbsp jerk seasoning
½ cup red onion grated
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

For the Sandwiches

4 Ciabatta rolls halved
2 tsp olive oil
½ cup red onion sliced
1 fresh Hass avocado* halved, pitted, peeled and sliced

Instructions

For the Jerk Chicken

Using a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for chicken; whisk together until fully combined.
Place chicken breasts in a large glass baking dish. Add marinade to the baking dish, turning to fully coat chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight.

For the Sandwiches

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Remove chicken breasts from marinade and place in grill pan. Discard any remaining marinade.
Cook chicken until done (~12-15 minutes), flipping after 8 minutes.
Once chicken is fully cooked, transfer to a cutting board. Let chicken cool slightly and then slice into ¾ inch strips.
Return grill pan to stovetop over medium-high heat. Brush the insides of the ciabatta rolls with olive oil and place face down in hot grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly crispy.
Top each sandwich with several strips of Jerk chicken, red onion, avocado; cut in half.

Notes

*Note: Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados, adjust the quantity accordingly.
