Ingredients
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 large ripe avocado
– 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain work well)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Making the Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
2. Prepare the Avocado: While the chicken cooks, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork and add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Toast the Bread: In another skillet or a toaster, lightly toast the slices of bread until golden brown on both sides.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of toasted bread, layer slices of cooked chicken. Spread the mashed avocado generously over the chicken. Top with shredded cheese.
5. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet over low heat. Cover with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Alternatively, you can pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
6. Finish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the heat. Top with another slice of toasted bread, cut in half, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
