Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices of sourdough or artisan bread
- 1/2 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken (grilled or rotisserie)
- 2 slices cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise or aioli (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp butter for toasting
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins
- Sliced tomato
- Red onion slices
- Crispy bacon strips
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado spread: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado and combine it with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well mixed to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise or aioli on one side of each bread slice if using. On the other side of one slice, spread the prepared avocado mixture, then layer evenly with shredded chicken and place the cheese slices on top. Add any optional ingredients such as sliced tomato, red onion, or crispy bacon, then cover with the second slice of bread, mayo side facing out.
- Toast the sandwich: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting. The bread should turn golden brown and the cheese should be fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half diagonally, and serve while hot for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can substitute the bread with gluten-free or whole wheat bread for dietary preferences.
- If avoiding dairy, use vegan cheese alternatives or omit the cheese.
- Customize your sandwich by adding fresh veggies or swapping chicken for turkey.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
- For extra crispiness, toast the sandwich in a panini press instead of a skillet.
