Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste

- 4 slices sourdough or ciabatta bread
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or aioli (optional)
- 4 tomato slices (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil (for grilling)
Instructions
Slice avocado and toss with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- If desired, spread mayonnaise or aioli on the inside of bread slices.
- Layer cheese, chicken, avocado, and tomato (if using) on one slice of bread. Add another slice of cheese and top with the second bread slice.

- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Cook sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- Add bacon or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Make open-faced by toasting under the broiler.
- Best served fresh—avocado does not freeze well.
- Reheat in skillet or toaster oven to keep bread crispy.
