Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover chicken works great)
- 1 large ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or thick cut white)
- 4 slices of Swiss or Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or olive oil for toasting
- Fresh lettuce or spinach (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful filling. Feel free to add chopped cilantro or diced tomatoes for extra zest.
- Spread the sliced or mashed avocado evenly on two slices of bread. Top with the seasoned chicken mixture and add a slice of cheese on each.
- Butter the outer sides of the bread slices. Heat a skillet or sandwich press over medium heat and grill the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Notes
- You can substitute different types of bread such as gluten-free options, baguette slices, or lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.
- For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with grilled vegetables or chickpeas.
- This sandwich can be assembled up to 2 hours ahead; refrigerate separately if needed and assemble just before toasting.
