Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 4 slices of sturdy bread (your choice)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh lettuce or spinach leaves (optional)
  • Tomato slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet or grill over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil, then cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.
  3. Lay one slice of bread on a plate. Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on the bread. Arrange the sliced chicken evenly over the avocado. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then add optional greens like lettuce or tomato slices for extra crunch and freshness. Cover with another slice of bread.
  4. To melt the cheese and bring the sandwich together, you can toast the assembled sandwich in a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Press gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown. Alternatively, use your air fryer for quick crisping.

Notes

  • For added flavor, include hot sauce or a sprinkle of paprika.
  • Use your favorite cheese or bread type for variation.
  • Best served fresh; store components separately for leftovers.
