Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 slices of your favorite cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone work well)
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing thinly.
- Prepare the Other Ingredients: Slice the avocado and prepare the cheese slices. Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: On two slices of bread, layer the sliced chicken, avocado, and cheese. Add red onion and tomato slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil to the pan. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm.
