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)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter, for grilling
- Fresh lettuce or spinach (optional)
- Tomato slices (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mayo spread: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (if using) until well combined. This flavorful spread will add creaminess and tang to your sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the mayo mixture evenly on each slice of bread. Layer with cooked chicken, avocado slices, a slice of cheese, and optional fresh lettuce or tomato slices. Finish by topping with the remaining slice of bread.
- Grill the sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter the outer sides of each sandwich lightly to achieve a golden, crispy crust. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half for easier handling, and serve warm. Enjoy the melty, savory flavors of your Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich!
Notes
- You can substitute the cooked chicken breast with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- If you prefer a vegan version, use vegan cheese and mayonnaise alternatives, and skip the chicken.
- Adding fresh leafy greens like spinach or lettuce adds a refreshing crunch.
- Use a sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta to hold the sandwich together and prevent sogginess.
- The Dijon mustard is optional but adds a nice tangy flavor; adjust to your taste.
