Ingredients
  

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts sliced thin
  • 1 ripe avocado mashed
  • 4 slices bread sourdough or whole wheat
  • 4 slices mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
  

Prepare the Avocado Spread

  • Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Mash gently with a spoon. Keep it creamy, not too smooth.

Prepare the Chicken

  • If your chicken is cold, warm it slightly. Slice the chicken into thin pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper. This helps bring out the flavor when heated.

Spread the Bread

  • Lay the bread slices on a board. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice. On the other side, spread the mashed avocado evenly. This creates a creamy base.

Assemble the Sandwich

  • Place sliced chicken over the avocado layer. Add cheese slices on top of the chicken. Cover with the second bread slice, mayo side facing out.

Heat the Pan

  • Place a skillet on medium heat. Add butter and let it melt slowly. Make sure the pan is evenly coated. This helps the bread turn golden.

Grill the Sandwich

  • Place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for about three to four minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula. Flip when golden brown and cheese starts melting.

Rest and Serve

  • Remove the sandwich from the pan. Let it rest for one minute. Cut in half and serve warm. Enjoy the gooey cheese and creamy avocado.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.
  • Add sliced tomatoes for freshness.
  • Use garlic butter instead of plain butter.
  • Try grilled chicken for smoky flavor.
  • Add chili flakes if you like heat.
