Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Spread

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Sandwich Fillings

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced

Bread and Grilling

  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
  • Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts for 6 to 7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  2. Prep the Avocado and Cheese: Slice the avocado into even pieces and have your chosen cheese slices ready for assembly.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice, then spread Dijon mustard over the mayonnaise to add a tangy kick.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: On two bread slices with the mayo and mustard side up, layer the sliced chicken, avocado slices, cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and tomato slices. Top each with the remaining bread slices, mayo side down, to complete the sandwich.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches: Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Press gently with a spatula to ensure the sandwich stays together and the cheese melts, and turn when the bread is golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly. Slice them in half diagonally and serve warm for the best flavor and melt.

Notes

  • You can use any type of bread you prefer, but sturdier breads like sourdough or ciabatta hold up best to grilling.
  • For a spicy twist, add a slice of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce before grilling.
  • If you want a lighter option, use low-fat cheese and a light mayo or Greek yogurt spread.
  • To ensure even cooking, pound chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.
  • Leftover grilled sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated, then reheated in a pan or sandwich press for quick meals.
