Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1/2 avocado, mashed
- 2 slices bread
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar or provolone)
Condiments and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) butter
Spices:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Crush ripe avocados into a smooth, creamy spread and distribute evenly across one bread slice, sprinkling with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Arrange tender shredded chicken pieces uniformly over the avocado layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Delicately place cheese slices atop the chicken, allowing them to create a rich, melty foundation.
- Crown the sandwich with the second bread slice, optionally brushing the interior with a light mayonnaise coating for added moisture.
- Generously coat the exterior surfaces of the sandwich with softened butter, ensuring an even, golden-brown potential.
- Preheat a skillet to medium heat (approximately 350°F) and carefully position the sandwich, grilling for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread transforms into a crispy, caramelized golden texture and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from heat, slice diagonally to create two triangular halves, and serve immediately while warm and invitingly fragrant.
Notes
- Select ripe, creamy avocados for the best flavor and spreadability, ensuring they’re soft but not overripe.
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for a quick and convenient protein option that saves preparation time.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss to create unique flavor profiles and add personal flair to the sandwich.
- For a lighter version, replace butter with olive oil spray or use a non-stick pan to reduce overall calories while maintaining a crispy golden exterior.
