Description
A warm and crunchy sandwich filled with grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and melted cheese, perfect for weeknight meals or cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough or your choice)
- 1 cooked chicken breast (grilled or shredded)
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella)
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise or butter
- 1 tbsp mustard (optional)
- Lettuce and tomato slices (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preheating your skillet or sandwich press over medium heat.
- Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise or butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer your ingredients on the unbuttered side of the first slice: place the cooked chicken, followed by the avocado slices, and finish off with the cheese.
- Top with the second slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side faces out.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet or press and cook until golden brown, roughly 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the sandwich from heat, slice it in half, and serve warm.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and add optional ingredients like mustard, lettuce, and tomatoes. Make-ahead tips include pre-cooking the chicken and using lemon juice on avocados to prevent browning.
