Description
A hearty and creamy melt featuring juicy seasoned chicken, ripe avocado, and gooey cheese, all nestled between golden-toasted bread—perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 avocado, sliced
4 slices of your favorite cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato, sliced
Butter or olive oil, for grilling the sandwiches
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing thinly.
Meanwhile, slice the avocado and prepare your cheese slices.
Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread.
On two bread slices (mayo side up), layer sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato. Top with remaining bread slices, mayo side down.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat; add a touch of butter or olive oil. Grill the sandwiches, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted (about 3–4 minutes per side).
Remove from pan, let cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
