2 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeƱos, sliced
4 French bread baguettes, ends trimmed, each cut crosswise into 3 equal pieces, halved lengthwise
Mix mayonnaise, garlic and chipotle chilies in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Roast bell peppers (lightly brushed with olive oil) for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Place in bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel; seed. Roast the onion on the same tray lightly tossed in balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Preheat oven to 400. Lightly oil heavy large baking sheet. Place chicken on baking sheet. Brush chicken with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
