Instructions
Creating the Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Avocado: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
2. Combine Chicken and Cheese: In another bowl, combine the shredded chicken with shredded cheese. If you like, you can add mayonnaise for extra creaminess.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or drizzle some olive oil to coat the bottom.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on two slices of bread. Top with the chicken and cheese mixture.
5. Top and Grill: Place the remaining slices of bread on top. Grill the sandwiches in the heated skillet for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Slice and Serve: Carefully remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
These simple steps will guide you in creating a Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich that is not only easy to make but also incredibly delicious!
