Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Components

  • 2 slices of sourdough or artisan bread
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken (grilled or rotisserie)
  • 2 slices of cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise or aioli (optional)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Toasting

  • 1 tbsp butter (for toasting)

Optional Add-ins

  • Sliced tomato
  • Red onion
  • Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy, ensuring the flavors are well combined.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise or aioli on one side of each bread slice if using. On the other side of one slice, spread the avocado mixture evenly, then layer with shredded chicken and place cheese slices on top. Add any optional ingredients like tomato, red onion, or bacon as desired. Top with the second slice of bread, mayo side facing out.
  3. Toast the sandwich: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted completely.
  4. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the pan, let it cool slightly, then slice in half and serve hot for maximum enjoyment.

Notes

  • You can substitute sourdough bread with whole wheat or multigrain bread for a healthier option.
  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and boost flavor.
  • For a spicy kick, add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the sandwich.
  • Avocado can brown quickly; prepare the spread just before assembling the sandwich for the best color and flavor.
  • Use non-dairy cheese and vegan mayo to make this sandwich vegan-friendly (although original recipe is not vegan).
