Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 6 oz (170g) chicken breast, cooked and thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced
- 2 slices pepper jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 2 slices tomato
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the ChickenIf using leftover chicken, gently warm it in a skillet over medium-low heat or microwave for 30 seconds. For fresh chicken, season a chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Step 2: Prepare the AvocadoHalve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and slice it thinly. Sprinkle with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
- Step 3: Create the SpreadIn a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. This creates a tangy, creamy base that will complement both the chicken and avocado.
- Step 4: Assemble the SandwichLay your bread slices flat and spread the outside of each with softened butter. Flip them over and spread the inside of each slice with the mayo-mustard mixture. On one slice, layer in this order: one slice of cheese, chicken slices, avocado slices, tomato and lettuce if using, and the second slice of cheese. Top with the remaining bread slice, spread-side down.
- Step 5: Cook to PerfectionHeat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place your assembled **Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich** in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. Press down gently with a spatula occasionally to help the cheese melt and the ingredients bind together.
- Step 6: ServeRemove from heat and let the sandwich rest for one minute before cutting diagonally to showcase those beautiful layers. Serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey and the contrast between warm sandwich and cool avocado is at its peak.
