Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices sourdough or ciabatta bread (or your favorite bread)
Spread
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Grilling
- Butter, for grilling
Optional Additions
- Fresh lettuce or spinach
- Tomato slices
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (if using) until smooth and well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the mayo mixture evenly on each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the cooked chicken, avocado slices, a slice of cheese, and optional fresh lettuce or tomato slices. Top with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up properly before grilling the sandwiches.
- Butter the Sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of butter on the outer sides of each sandwich to ensure a golden and crispy exterior when grilled.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing slightly, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the grilled sandwiches from the skillet. Slice them in half for easier handling and serve warm. Enjoy your melty, flavorful Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich!
