Description
A delicious sandwich combining creamy avocado with tender chicken, perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 4 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley), optional
- Olive oil or butter for toasting
Instructions
- Mash the ripe avocado in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) and lime juice, mixing until combined. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in fresh herbs if desired.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of olive oil or butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Spread the avocado mixture generously on one side of each slice of bread. Layer on the shredded chicken, followed by cheese. Top with another slice of bread, ensuring the avocado side faces inward.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese has melted.
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting in half.
Notes
For healthier options, substitute chicken with black beans or grilled veggies, use low-fat cheese, or swap bread for lettuce wraps.
