Equipment

- Spatula For flipping sandwiches.
- Sharp Knife For slicing chicken and veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 slices your favorite cheese (Swiss, cheddar, provolone)
- 4 slices bread (sourdough or ciabatta recommended)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Butter or olive oil, for grilling
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through (165°F internal). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- While chicken cooks, slice avocado, onion, and tomato.
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice. On two slices, layer chicken, avocado, cheese, onion, and tomato. Top with remaining bread slices.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
Pro Tips: Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy. Use a hot skillet to get that perfect golden-brown crust on the bread. Don't overcrowd the pan when grilling the sandwiches. Feel free to customize with your favorite cheese or add a spicy kick with jalapeños. For the best texture, assemble and grill the sandwiches just before serving.
