Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of whole wheat or sourdough bread
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 1-2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or olive oil for toasting
Instructions
- Start by cooking and shredding your chicken if not already pre-cooked. Mash or slice the avocado, then season it with lemon juice, salt, and pepper for added flavor.
- Spread mayonnaise or Greek yogurt on one side of each bread slice. Layer the cooked chicken evenly over one slice, followed by the seasoned avocado slices. Top with your choice of cheese and optional extras like bacon or tomatoes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter the outside of the bread slices or brush with olive oil. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Alternatively, use an air fryer for crispy results.
Notes
- For added flavor, include crispy bacon, sliced tomatoes, or arugula.
- To keep the sandwich warm, wrap in foil and reheat in a toaster oven or skillet.
- Use low-fat cheese for a healthier option.
