Description
Juicy chicken, creamy avocado, melty cheese, and golden toasted bread come together in this Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich for a quick, comforting, and delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 slices of your favorite cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone work well)
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from skillet and let rest a few minutes, then slice thinly.
2. Slice avocado and have cheese ready.
3. Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice.
4. On two slices of bread, layer sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato. Top with the remaining bread slices, mayo side down.
5. Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
6. Remove sandwiches from the skillet. Let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
Swap in turkey or rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
For extra flavor, sprinkle crushed red pepper or your favorite seasoning into the sandwich layers.
Sourdough adds great crunch, but any sturdy bread works well.
Let the chicken rest before slicing so it stays juicy.
