Ingredients for Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich

Here’s everything you’ll need:

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 4 slices of your favorite cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone work well)
• 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tomato, sliced
• Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches

How to Make the Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich

Let’s build sandwich magic step by step:

1. Prepare the Chicken

• Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (no pink in the center).
• Transfer chicken to a plate and let it rest a few minutes, then slice thinly.

Aneta’s Tip: Letting the chicken rest keeps it juicy. Skip this step, and you risk dry chicken—no one wants that!

2. Get the Avocado and Cheese Ready

• Slice the avocado.
• Get your cheese slices ready. If you’re using a block of cheese, slice it thinly so it melts faster.

3. Prep the Bread

• Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice.

Aneta’s Tip: Don’t skip the Dijon—it adds a gentle tang that really makes the flavors pop!

4. Assemble the Sandwich

• On two slices of bread, layer:
  • Sliced chicken
  • Avocado slices
  • Cheese
  • A few slices of red onion and tomato
• Top with the remaining bread slices, mayo side down.

5. Grill to Golden Perfection

• Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
• Add a bit of butter or olive oil to the pan.
• Place sandwiches in the pan.
• Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melty and irresistible.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

• Remove sandwiches from the pan.
• Let cool slightly (if you can wait!).
• Slice in half and serve warm.

Aneta’s Cooking Tips for the Perfect Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich

• Bread Choice Matters: Sourdough gives you a lovely tang and crunch, but ciabatta is great if you’re craving a sturdier sandwich.
• Cheese Variety: Swiss is mellow, cheddar brings sharpness, and provolone is deliciously stretchy. Pick your vibe!
• Don’t Crowd the Pan: Grill one sandwich at a time if needed so they get evenly crispy.
• Extra Flavor? Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a little heat.

Sourdough adds great crunch, but any sturdy bread works well.
