Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 4 slices sourdough or ciabatta bread
- 4 slices cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
- 4 tomato slices (optional)
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of garlic powder, dash of hot sauce, or fresh herbs
Instructions
- Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each bread slice if using.
- Layer the bottom slice with cheese, chicken, avocado, and optional tomato or onion slices. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add a second slice of cheese on top and close with the second bread slice.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
- Swap chicken for turkey or grilled thighs for variation.
- Add a fried egg for a brunch version.
- Best served fresh — reheat in a skillet to maintain crispness.
- Use low-carb wraps or lettuce for a low-carb version.
