Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (see chicken recipes for ideas)
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 4 slices cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Butter or olive oil for toasting
- Optional: sliced tomatoes, lettuce, or crispy bacon for added flavor
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with mashed avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Lay out the bread slices and evenly spread the chicken avocado mixture on one side of each slice. Top with cheese slices and optional toppings like tomatoes, lettuce, or bacon. Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, and add butter or olive oil. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps.
- To keep the sandwich fresh, assemble just before serving or store the chicken mixture separately and reassemble when ready to eat.
- You can customize the fillings by adding sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon, or fresh lettuce for extra flavor and crunch.
