Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or whole-grain)
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for toasting
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: sliced tomato, spinach, or fresh herbs
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season fresh chicken with salt and pepper and grill, roast, or pan-cook until fully done. Slice into thin strips. Rotisserie chicken can be used for convenience.
- Mash the avocado: Cut avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and mash in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice.
- Prepare the bread: Spread mayonnaise or Greek yogurt on one side of each bread slice.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place a slice of bread, spread side down, on a flat surface. Layer with mashed avocado, sliced chicken, cheese, and optional toppings. Cover with the second slice, spread side up.
- Toast the sandwich: Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich until golden brown on one side (3–4 minutes), then flip and cook until cheese melts and bread is crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet, let rest for one minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
Use ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
Adjust cheese type and quantity based on preference.
Optional ingredients like tomato, spinach, or pesto can add flavor and nutrition.
For extra crispiness, press the sandwich slightly while toasting.
