Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie)
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed or sliced
- 4 slices sourdough or sandwich bread
- 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh spinach or lettuce (optional, for crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic until well mixed. This will add a rich and aromatic flavor to the bread.
- Butter the Bread: Spread the garlic butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This side will be toasted to a golden crisp in the skillet.
- Spread Mayonnaise and Mustard: On the non-buttered side of each slice, spread mayonnaise and, if using, Dijon mustard for an extra tangy kick.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the sliced chicken breasts, avocado (mashed or sliced), cheese slices, and optional fresh spinach or lettuce on one slice of bread, then top with the other bread slice, garlic butter side out.
- Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy; then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is heated through.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken of your choice: grilled, roasted, or rotisserie all work well.
- For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce to the avocado layer.
- Substitute gluten-free bread to make the recipe gluten-free if needed.
- The sandwich pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad, soup, or crispy fries for a complete meal.
- To prepare faster, use pre-cooked shredded chicken mixed with a bit of mayonnaise for extra creaminess.
