Instructions
Creating the Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich is straightforward. Follow these steps for a mouthwatering result:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
3. Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
4. Mash the Avocado: While the chicken is resting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season it lightly with salt.
5. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado. Layer the sliced chicken on top, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken.
6. Top and Grill: Place the second slice of bread on top. Return the sandwich to the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
7. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and it’s ready to enjoy!
