Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 piece boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked and sliced
- 4 slice bread sourdough or thick sandwich bread
- 1 medium ripe avocado peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 4 slice melting cheese such as provolone, mozzarella, or cheddar
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 slice tomato thinly sliced
- 0.25 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
- 0.5 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, until the outside is golden and the center is no longer pink. Transfer to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken rests, slice the avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato so they are ready to layer into the sandwiches.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, tomato, and red onion onto two of the bread slices, spread side facing up. Top with the remaining bread slices, spread side facing down, to form sandwiches.
- Wipe out the skillet if needed, then place it back over medium heat and add butter or olive oil. Add the sandwiches and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of your favorite herb blend over the chicken before cooking or add a squeeze of lemon or lime over the avocado slices. Adjust the cheese type and bread style to match what you already have on hand.
