Ingredients

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)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced

Bread and Cooking

  • 4 slices bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or choice)
  • 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 the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  2. Prepare the Avocado and Cheese: Slice the avocado and prepare the cheese slices. Set them aside, ready to assemble the sandwich.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly on each slice of bread to add flavor and moisture.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: On two slices of bread, layer the sliced chicken, avocado slices, and cheese. Add a few slices of red onion and tomato on top. Then place the remaining slices of bread on top, mayo side down.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a bit of butter or olive oil. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
  6. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the chicken before cooking.
  • Using ripe but firm avocado will help maintain shape and texture in the sandwich.
  • Any type of bread can be used, but sturdier breads like sourdough or ciabatta hold up better when grilled.
  • To make it lighter, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or use low-fat cheese.
  • Make sure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
