Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices sourdough or ciabatta bread (or your favorite bread)
Spread
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Grilling
- Butter, for grilling
Optional Additions
- Fresh lettuce or spinach
- Tomato slices
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste, creating a creamy and flavorful spread for the sandwich.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the prepared mayo mixture evenly on each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the sliced or shredded cooked chicken breast, then add the avocado slices, followed by a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese. Add optional lettuce or tomato slices if desired. Top each with the remaining slices of bread spread side down.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Butter the outer sides of each assembled sandwich with a thin layer of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently and flipping carefully, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and melty Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich!
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast leftover from a previous meal or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For a healthier option, use whole-grain bread and low-fat mayonnaise.
- Adjust the Dijon mustard quantity according to your taste preferences or omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Make sure the avocado is ripe for the best creamy texture and taste.
- You can add other veggies like cucumber or sprouts for extra crunch.
- If you don’t have a skillet, grilling the sandwich in a sandwich press or panini maker works well too.
