Description

Create the best flavor with this step-by-step guide for a Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich. This quick and satisfying meal combines creamy avocado, tender chicken, and gooey cheese between perfectly toasted bread.

Ingredients

1.5 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
1 large ripe avocado, mashed
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 slices sturdy bread (sourdough or country white preferred)
4 slices melting cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or provolone)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon finely diced red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, thinly sliced jalapeño

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Avocado Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, leaving some avocado chunks for texture. Stir in any optional add-ins.
2. Butter and Toast the First Side of Bread: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside, butter-side up.
3. Assemble and Layer the Sandwich: Return the skillet to medium heat. Place the two remaining bread slices (unbuttered side down) into the skillet. Top each with one slice of cheese. Spoon half of the chicken avocado mixture onto one cheese-topped slice. Top the chicken mixture with another slice of cheese.
4. Grill Until Golden and Melty: Place one of the pre-toasted bread slices (butter-side up) on top of the layered sandwich. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. Gently press with a spatula for even browning.
5. Slice and Serve Immediately: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
