A delicious and satisfying Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich featuring tender, seasoned chicken breasts, creamy avocado slices, melted cheese, and fresh vegetables, all grilled between perfectly toasted bread for a warm, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sandwich Fillings

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced

Bread and Spread

  • 4 slices bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or choice)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Butter or olive oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove and let rest before slicing thinly.
  2. Prepare the Avocado and Cheese: Slice the avocado and prepare the cheese slices. Set aside for assembly.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly on each slice of bread.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: On two slices of bread, layer sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, followed by red onion and tomato slices. Top with remaining bread slices, mayo side down.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches: Heat skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil. Place sandwiches in pan and cook 3-4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese is melted, pressing gently with spatula for even melting.
  6. Serve: Remove sandwiches from skillet, let cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocado to prevent mushy texture.
  • Choice of cheese can be adjusted to preference for sharper or milder flavor.
  • Allow chicken to rest after cooking to retain juices and tenderness.
  • Use sturdy bread such as sourdough or ciabatta to hold fillings well when grilling.
  • Butter adds richer flavor when grilling compared to olive oil.
