Description
This delicious Chicken Avocado Sandwich features tender chicken breasts, creamy avocado, and a variety of fresh ingredients, all packed between your choice of bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (Substitute with grilled portobello mushrooms or crispy tofu for vegetarian option.)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (Can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (Can be omitted or swapped with yellow mustard.)
- 1 medium Avocado (Ensure it’s ripe for the best texture.)
- 4 slices Cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, or Provolone) (Choose per preference or mix for variety.)
- 4 slices Bread (your choice) (Opt for whole grain or gluten-free for a healthier twist.)
- 1/4 medium Red Onion (Can substitute with other veggies like spinach.)
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (Can also use butter for added richness.)
- to Taste Salt and Pepper (Enhances overall flavor.)
Instructions
- Season boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until it’s cooked through and reaches a nice golden color. Allow to rest before slicing.
- Slice the ripe avocado, your choice of cheese, red onion, and tomato. This will ensure everything is ready for assembly and helps keep the sandwich fresh and vibrant.
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly on each slice of bread. Layer the sliced chicken, avocado, and cheese onto two of the slices, adding red onion and tomato for extra flavor and crunch. Top with the remaining bread, mayo side down.
- In a clean skillet or grill pan, heat some butter or oil over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted beautifully. Press gently with a spatula for even grilling.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice in half. Enjoy them warm to experience the delightful flavors melded together!
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with grilled portobello mushrooms or crispy tofu.
- Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise can lighten up the sandwich.
- Feel free to mix your choice of cheeses for added flavor.
- Adding spinach or other veggies can enhance nutritional value.
