Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded or sliced
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • 2 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices of sourdough bread

Bread and Dairy Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) mayonnaise

Seasoning and Optional Toppings:

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: lettuce
  • Optional toppings: tomato slices
  • Optional toppings: red onion

Instructions

  1. Crush ripe avocado and distribute uniformly across one bread slice, seasoning with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
  2. Arrange warm, tender chicken pieces atop the avocado spread in an even layer.
  3. Position sharp cheddar cheese slices directly over the chicken to ensure complete coverage.
  4. Apply a thin layer of creamy mayonnaise on the opposing bread slice for additional moisture and richness.
  5. Carefully unite the sandwich components, then delicately coat external bread surfaces with softened butter.
  6. Activate a skillet over medium heat (approximately 350°F), positioning the sandwich carefully to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration.
  7. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes, monitoring cheese melting and bread toasting until achieving a crisp, caramelized exterior.
  8. Transfer the hot sandwich from skillet, slice diagonally to create elegant presentation, and serve immediately while ingredients remain warm and melted.

Notes

  • Choose ripe, creamy avocados for the best spread texture and rich flavor profile.
  • Try different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique taste combinations.
  • Season chicken with herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance overall sandwich complexity.
  • Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
