Description
A delicious sandwich featuring tender shredded chicken, creamy avocado, and gooey melted cheese pressed between crispy, buttery bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of whole-wheat or your choice of bread
- 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 6 oz / 170 g)
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or olive oil for grilling (about 1 tbsp)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken and mashed avocado. Season with salt and pepper. Optionally, stir in a squeeze of lime and a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Spread the chicken and avocado mixture evenly on one slice of bread, top with shredded cheese, and cover with the second slice of bread.
- Butter the outside of the sandwich (or brush with olive oil).
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage cheese melt.
- Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, cut in half, and serve warm.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, consider adding lime juice to the avocado and using a sturdy bread to prevent sogginess. Grating your own cheese can improve melt quality.
