Description

This Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meal featuring tender cooked chicken breasts, creamy avocado slices, melted cheese, and fresh vegetables layered between toasted bread. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, it combines savory and creamy flavors with a crispy grilled finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sandwich Fillings

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced

Bread & Condiments

  • 4 slices bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Grilling

  • Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your taste.
  2. Heat the skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Cook the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  4. Prepare avocado and cheese: Slice the avocado and set aside along with your choice of cheese slices to use in the sandwich.
  5. Spread condiments: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread to add flavor and moisture.
  6. Layer the sandwich: On two slices of the prepared bread, layer the sliced chicken, avocado slices, cheese, and top with red onion and tomato slices.
  7. Top the sandwiches: Cover each layered bread slice with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down, to complete the sandwiches.
  8. Prepare the pan: Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or olive oil to help crisp the bread and melt the cheese.
  9. Grill the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted nicely. Press gently with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts evenly.
  10. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use your favorite type of cheese and bread for variations in flavor.
  • Allowing the chicken to rest before slicing keeps it juicy.
  • Pressing the sandwiches gently while grilling helps melt the cheese evenly.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can enhance freshness.
