Ingredients
- Chicken Breast
- Avocado
- Sharp Cheddar or Mozzarella Cheese
- Sourdough or Whole Grain Bread
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Cayenne (optional)
- Mayonnaise or Ranch Dressing (optional)
- Hummus (optional)
Instructions
- If you’re using raw chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill or sauté the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- While the chicken is resting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Take a slice of your chosen bread and spread a layer of the mashed avocado. Lay down slices of the grilled chicken on top, followed by a generous sprinkle of cheese.
- Add another slice of bread on top to close the sandwich. If you like, spread a little mayonnaise or your chosen condiment on the outside of the top slice for a crispy finish.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich over and grill the other side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even melting.
- Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Allow it to sit for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
