Description
A comforting sandwich combining warm melted cheese, creamy avocado, and tender shredded chicken on buttery bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread (your choice: whole wheat, sourdough, or white)
- 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 3–4 oz / 85–112 g cooked)
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed (about 1 medium avocado)
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar suggested; use Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack as preferred)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for grilling (about 1 tablespoon total)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the mashed avocado. Season with salt and pepper. (Optional: add lime juice, chopped cilantro, or a pinch of garlic powder.)
- Spread the chicken and avocado mixture onto one slice of bread.
- Top with cheese and the second slice of bread.
- Butter the outer sides of the sandwich.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3–4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
To maintain texture, avoid overmixing the avocado and chicken. Use medium heat for even grilling. If using pre-sliced thicker bread or frozen chicken, adjust timing accordingly.
