Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sandwich Fillings

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices of your favorite cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced

Bread and Condiments

  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on both sides of the boneless skinless chicken breasts to prepare them for cooking.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to warm up before adding the chicken.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  4. Prepare the toppings: Slice the avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato, setting them aside for assembly.
  5. Spread condiments on the bread: Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then spread a thin layer on each slice of bread.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches: On two slices of the mayo-Dijon spread bread, layer the sliced chicken, avocado slices, cheese slices, red onion, and tomato.
  7. Top the sandwiches: Place the remaining slices of bread on top, with the mayo side facing the fillings.
  8. Heat for grilling: Warm a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add butter or olive oil to coat the surface.
  9. Grill the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, pressing gently with a spatula to help even melting.
  10. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm for best flavor.

Notes

  • You can choose any cheese you prefer; Swiss, cheddar, or provolone work well for melting.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the chicken seasoning.
  • Use hearty bread like sourdough or ciabatta to hold the fillings without becoming soggy.
  • Letting the cooked chicken rest before slicing ensures it stays juicy.
  • Butter will give a richer flavor to the grilled bread, while olive oil offers a lighter alternative.
  • Serve with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
