Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Making the Chipotle Crema

  1. 3

    Prepare the Crema

    In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, chipotle in adobo, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a grilled chicken breast, top with a slice of smoked gouda, 2 slices of bacon, some red onion slices, lettuce, and a generous drizzle of chipotle crema. Place the top half of the bun on and serve.
