Ingredients

4 slice bacon slices

1¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

1½ cup unsweetened almond milk

¼ cup grapeseed oil

2 large fresh jalapeños, seeded and chopped

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

6 oz plain Greek yogurt

3 whole canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped

1 tbsp adobo sauce

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 whole lime zest

2½ medium ripe avocados, mashed

2 large large heirloom tomatoes, sliced

¼ whole red onion, thinly sliced

1½ lb pan-fried chicken breasts, cooked

Directions

Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, almond milk, and grapeseed oil until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined and no lumps remain. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes while you preheat your waffle iron.
Fold the chopped bacon, fresh jalapeños, and grated cheddar cheese into the batter until evenly distributed.
Lightly spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour batter into the iron, filling about three-quarters of the surface, and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, typically 7–10 minutes, until the waffles are golden and crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.
While the waffles cook, make the chipotle yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.
Season the pan-fried chicken with salt and keep warm. To assemble each sandwich, top a warm waffle with mashed avocado, a dollop of chipotle yogurt sauce, sliced pan-fried chicken, fresh tomato slices, and thinly sliced red onion. Serve immediately.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4

The ingredient list is solidly available at Charlotte chains—no special trips required, though gluten-free flour at ALDI or Kroger will save money versus Harris Teeter. The real cost driver is four avocados and two chicken breasts for eight servings, pushing the per-serving price to around $2.50–$3.00, which is reasonable for a main but not budget-friendly. The stated 40 minutes ignores assembly time for sauces, chicken cooking, and waffle ironing; expect closer to 50 minutes with decent prep flow. The dish suits a weekend brunch or special weeknight when you have help in the kitchen, since the waffle iron demands attention and multiple components come together hot, but leftovers don't shine—these sandwiches get soggy by the next day and taste best eaten fresh.
