Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sandwich Filling
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 slices cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
Bread and Spreads
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
For Grilling
- Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper evenly to enhance flavor.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove and let rest before slicing thinly.
- Prepare fillings: Slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion, and set aside. Also prepare the cheese slices.
- Prepare the bread: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread for extra moisture and tang.
- Assemble the sandwiches: On two slices of bread, layer the sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato. Top with remaining bread slices, mayo side down.
- Grill the sandwiches: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat, add butter or olive oil, then place sandwiches in the skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese is melted, pressing gently with a spatula.
- Serve: Remove sandwiches, let them cool slightly for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the ingredients based on your preferences, such as using different cheeses or breads.
- For a healthier option, consider using whole grain or multigrain bread.
