Method
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, Salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Prepare the Avocado and Cheese: While the chicken rests, slice your avocado and prepare your cheese slices so they are ready for assembly.1 ripe avocado, 4 slices cheese
- Prepare the Bread: Lay out your bread slices and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.4 slices bread, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Assemble the Sandwiches: On two slices of bread (on the mayo/mustard side), layer the sliced chicken, avocado, and cheese. Add a few slices of red onion and tomato on top for extra flavor and crunch. Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.1 small red onion, 1 tomato
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or olive oil to the pan. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting.Butter or olive oil
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice them in half and serve while warm and melty.
Notes
To ensure the chicken stays juicy and tender, let it rest for at least five minutes after cooking before slicing. When grilling, use medium heat to ensure the bread gets a crispy, golden crust without burning before the cheese melts.
