Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 avocado, sliced
4 slices cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
4 slices bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato, sliced
Butter or olive oil, for grilling
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- Slice avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato.
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread.
- On two slices of bread, layer chicken, avocado, cheese, onion, and tomato. Top with remaining bread, mayo side down.
- Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet or grill pan. Cook sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted. Press lightly with a spatula for even melting.
- Cool 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Provolone and Swiss melt best, while cheddar adds sharper flavor.
- Rotisserie chicken works as a quick substitute.
- Squeeze lemon juice over avocado to prevent browning.
- Use a panini press for extra crunch.
- Best served fresh—avoid freezing due to avocado and tomato.
