Instructions
Making the Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich is as easy as it is delicious. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
4. Slice the Chicken: Once rested, slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
5. Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. You can add a pinch of salt or lime juice for extra flavor if desired.
6. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, spread a generous layer of mashed avocado. Layer the sliced chicken on top, followed by two slices of cheese.
7. Top with Another Slice: Place another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
8. Grill the Sandwich: In the same skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
9. Repeat: Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to repeat the grilling process for additional sandwiches.
10. Slice and Serve: Once done, slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
