A delicious and creamy Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich featuring tender shredded chicken, ripe avocado, and melted cheddar cheese toasted to golden perfection on artisan bread. Perfect for a satisfying lunch or quick dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Spread

  • 2 slices of sourdough or artisan bread
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise or aioli (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for toasting)

Avocado Mixture

  • 1/2 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Filling

  • 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken (grilled or rotisserie)
  • 2 slices of cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Optional Add-ins

  • Sliced tomato
  • Red onion
  • Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado spread: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado thoroughly with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. This creamy spread adds a fresh and tangy flavor to the sandwich.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: If using, spread mayonnaise or aioli on one side of each bread slice. On the un-mayo side of one slice, spread the avocado mixture evenly. Then layer the shredded chicken over the avocado, followed by the slices of cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese. Add any optional add-ins like tomato, red onion, or bacon if desired. Top with the second bread slice, mayo side facing outwards.
  3. Toast the sandwich: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and sizzling. Place the assembled sandwich onto the skillet and grill for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting of the cheese. The bread should be golden and crispy.
  4. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it rest for a minute. Slice it in half diagonally or down the middle, and serve hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Grilled or rotisserie chicken works well for tender, flavorful shredded chicken.
  • Feel free to customize with additional veggies or bacon for extra flavor.
  • To make it lighter, use low-fat cheese or skip the mayonnaise.
  • For a crispier sandwich, press gently with a spatula while toasting.
