Offspring Cheeses, Hybrid Condiments, and Avocado Enhancements

Whomever invented the sandwich is a genius and must be very rich.  The sandwich is the answer to the age old issue of, "how do I pull this all today".  Oh well, it's easy, just pop it all in bread and slap it in the panini press (or in our case, the oven).  This is an absolutely delicious meal-- in fact, it's so good, it's been on the weekly menu two weeks in a row.  And I'm not ruling it out for next week.  It's quick, cheap and super, super yummy. You will absolutely never go to a sub shop for a chicken sub after this one, at least I hope not.

Why so yummy, you ask?

1) Pepper-American Cheese-- yes you heard me right.  My roommate first mentioned this hybrid breed to me last week and I figured, sure, let's give it a try.  It is what happens when pepper-jack and american cheese sit next to each other in the deli counter for too long, and decide to get weird.  It is the creamy offspring of a creamy, flavorless cheese and a sharp, spicy mate.  I can't imagine that you aren't already on your way out to get some by now...
2) Siracha Mayo-- the delicious fusion of a boring, eggy condiment and it's way better, sassy cousin.
3) Avocado-- yes, avocado.  This is the most important part.  There is avocado, and things only get better when you add avocado.  Don't pretend that's not the absolute truth.

So let's mate some cheeses, whip up our own condiment, and enhance by avocado.

what you need...
1 piece thin cut chicken
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/2 tbs mayonnaise
1/2 - 1 tbs Siracha sauce (depending on desired spice)
2 slices pepper-american cheese
1 sub roll
1 egg
Italian breadcrumbs
Olive oil
Lettuce (optional topping)
Tomato (optional topping)

what you need to do...
1. Turn broiler to high, cut open sub roll, and being sure to not rip all the way through, spread the sub roll open on a baking sheet and place in oven for 1 minute to toast the inside of the roll.  Remove from oven, set aside, and leave broiler on.
2. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbs olive oil over medium high heat.  Crack and egg into a bowl and beat until yolk and white is completely combined.  Dump some bread crumbs onto a small plate.  When oil is hot, dip chicken in egg, being sure to coat both sides, and then into the bread crumb mixture, being sure to coat both sides thoroughly.  We're breading the chicken here, if you haven't gathered that by now.  Transfer chicken on the the pan and cover.  Cook until the chicken is cooked through, being sure to turn often to prevent burning.  Reduce heat to medium if needed)
3. Once chicken is cooked through, strain on a paper towel, and cut into strips.  In a small bowl mix mayo and Siracha sauce, adding more of less Siracha to attain desired spice.  Spread onto sides of the roll.  Add avocado slices and chicken to sub roll, and top with cheese.  Place sub back under the broiler for 1 minute to melt cheese.  Top with optional toppings of lettuce, tomato, red onion, or anything else you like putting on your subs.  As you can see, I didn't do this mainly because I had none of these things.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE TERRIBLE QUALITY OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS--I FORGOT MY CAMERA WHEN I WAS MAKING THESE AND BORROWED A FRIEND'S IPHONE TO TAKE THESE PICTURES.
