Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 slices slices bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or sandwich loaf)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover roast chicken works great)
  • 1 ripe avocado mashed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter for grilling (or olive oil for a lighter option)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with a fork.
  2. Add the shredded chicken and stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Stir in the tablespoon of mayonnaise if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. Warm a skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to the pan if needed.
  2. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice butter-side down in the skillet.
  3. On the unbuttered side of the bread in the pan, spread the chicken-avocado mixture evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture.
  4. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up. Grill 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
  5. Remove from pan, let rest 1 minute, cut in half, and serve warm.

Notes

For quick variations, consider swapping cheese or bread or adding spices according to your taste. Try serving with sides like salads or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
