Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 4 slices cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
• 4 slices bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or sandwich bread)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tomato, sliced
• Butter or olive oil, for grilling

Instructions for Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich

1. Cook the Chicken
   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 6–7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Rest briefly, then slice thinly.
2. Prepare the Spread
   In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth.
3. Assemble the Sandwich
   Spread the sauce evenly on one side of each bread slice. Layer sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato on two slices. Top with remaining bread, spread-side down.
4. Grill to Perfection
   Heat a pan over medium heat with butter or olive oil. Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
5. Serve
   Let rest for one minute, slice in half, and enjoy warm.
