Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
  • 1 ripe avocado (sliced or mashed)
  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or sandwich rolls)
  • 2 tsp butter or olive oil (for toasting)
  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or provolone)
  • 4 slices of tomato (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, to keep avocado fresh)

Instructions

  1. Mash or slice the avocado and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using.
  2. Butter or brush the outside of each bread slice with olive oil.
  3. On the inside of one slice, layer chicken, avocado, cheese, and tomato if using.
  4. Top with the second slice of bread and press gently to hold the sandwich together.
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
  6. Let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Try different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy twist.
  • Use wraps, flatbread, or English muffins for a variation.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet or toaster oven for best results.
  • Skip the butter and use a non-stick pan for a lighter version.
