Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or multigrain recommended)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or sliced
  • 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack)
  • Butter or mayonnaise (for grilling)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the Avocado Spread:

  • Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.

2. Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice of bread.
  • Layer the shredded or sliced chicken over the avocado spread.
  • Place the cheese slices on top of the chicken.
  • Top with the second slice of bread to form the sandwich.

3. Grill the Sandwich:

  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on the outer sides of the bread.
  • Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.

4. Serve:

  • Remove from the skillet and let rest for 1 minute before slicing.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Bread Choice: Sourdough, ciabatta, or multigrain work best for texture and flavor.
  • Preventing Browning: Mix lemon juice into the avocado to keep it fresh longer.
  • Make It Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the avocado spread.
  • Storage: Assemble the sandwich but don’t grill it if making ahead. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • Reheating: If already grilled, reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving.
