Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich
This cozy Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich combines juicy grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and gooey melted cheese between golden, buttery bread for a satisfying meal any time of year.
Ingredients
Sandwich Components
- 2 slices slices of bread Use your favorite sandwich bread — sourdough, whole wheat, multigrain, or a sturdy country loaf.
- 1 breast grilled chicken breast Leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken works great.
- 1 medium avocado Choose ripe but firm avocados for smooth mashing.
- 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or mozzarella work well; feel free to mix cheeses.
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Butter for grilling Softened butter spreads more evenly.
Instructions
Preparation
- Grill the chicken breast until fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes per side, and slice it.
- Mash the avocado in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer grilled chicken, mashed avocado, and shredded cheese.
- Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
Grilling
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the skillet.
- Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute before slicing. Cut on a diagonal for presentation.
Notes
Store leftover sandwich components separately. Keep sliced chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Mashed avocado best used the same day but can last up to 24 hours if covered tightly.
