Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 4 slices of your favorite melting cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
- 4 sandwich buns or bread slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lettuce and tomato slices (optional)
- Mustard or mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Rest and slice thinly.
- Lightly toast sandwich buns or bread slices until golden. Spread mayonnaise or mustard if desired.
- Spread mashed or sliced avocado on the bottom bun. Layer sliced chicken on top, then add cheese, lettuce, and tomato slices if using. Cover with the top bun.
- Place the assembled sandwich in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes or use a sandwich press to melt the cheese and heat thoroughly.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Sturdy bread or buns help hold the fillings.
- Add extras like bacon, jalapeños, or herbs for variety.
- To make healthier, opt for whole wheat buns and low-fat cheese.
