Description
A warm and satisfying sandwich featuring grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and melted cheddar cheese on toasted bread, finished with a zesty mayo-lime spread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of sandwich bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or your favorite)
- 1 cooked chicken breast, sliced (about 6 oz)
- 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or your preferred melting cheese)
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for grilling)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the mayo‑lime spread: in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread the mayo mixture on one side of each bread slice.
- Layer on one slice: cheddar cheese, sliced chicken, avocado, then remaining cheese. Top with the second bread slice, mayo‑side down.
- Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich and cook until golden brown and cheese starts to melt, about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula.
- Slide sandwich onto a cutting board, let rest for a minute, then slice in half. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken to save time.
- Add sliced tomato or spinach for extra freshness.
- For more flavor, swap cheddar for pepper jack or Swiss cheese.
- If bread browns too quickly, reduce heat slightly and cover skillet while cooking.
- Serve with a side of pickles or a fresh salad.
