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
- Mash or slice the avocado and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using.
- Butter or brush the outside of each bread slice with olive oil.
- On the inside of one slice, layer chicken, avocado, cheese, and tomato if using.
- Top with the second slice of bread and press gently to hold the sandwich together.
- 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.
- 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.
