Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sandwich Filling

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced

Bread and Spreads

  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

For Grilling

  • Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  2. Prepare the Avocado and Cheese: Slice the avocado and have your cheese slices ready.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread evenly.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: On two slices of bread, layer the sliced chicken, avocado, and cheese. Add thin slices of red onion and tomato on top. Place the remaining bread slices on top, mayo side down.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook 3-4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese melts, pressing gently with a spatula to melt cheese evenly.
  6. Serve: Remove sandwiches from skillet, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts with grilled turkey or tofu for variation.
  • Use gluten-free bread if you need a gluten-free option.
  • To make it spicier, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Use ripe avocado for best creamy texture and taste.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 1 day but are best enjoyed fresh.
