Ingredients:
For the Sandwich:
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, roasted, or shredded)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 slices sourdough or country bread
- 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional: mix with a squeeze of lemon juice)
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
Optional Toppings & Extras:
- Fresh tomato slices 🍅
- Crisp lettuce leaves 🥬
- A pinch of chili flakes 🌶️
- Dijon mustard for tang
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Prepare the chicken – Slice or shred the cooked chicken breast into thin pieces. If you’re cooking fresh, season with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder before grilling or pan-searing.
- Prepare the bread – Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outside that crisps up golden and delicious.
- Layer the flavors – On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, spread mayonnaise or Dijon mustard. Layer chicken, avocado slices, and cheese on top. Add optional tomato or lettuce if you like.
- Top and close – Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side out.
- Grill to perfection – Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches and cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve – Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice diagonally. Serve warm with soup, salad, or chips.
