Ingredients
  

  • For the Sandwich:
  • 2 grilled or cooked chicken breasts or 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • 4 slices of your favorite bread sourdough, ciabatta, or whole grain works well
  • 4 slices of cheese pepper jack, Swiss, or cheddar
  • 4 slices of crispy bacon optional
  • 1 medium tomato sliced
  • Fresh spinach or lettuce leaves
  • For the Spread:
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional Add-Ons:
  • Red onion slices
  • Pickled jalapeños
  • Hot sauce for a spicy kick

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Spread
  2. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich
  4. Lay out the bread slices and spread a thin layer of the prepared spread on one side of each slice.
  5. Place a slice of cheese on two of the bread slices. Top each with chicken, avocado slices, tomato, spinach (or lettuce), and crispy bacon if using.
  6. Add the remaining cheese slice on top and cover with the other bread slices, spread side down.
  7. Step 3: Toast the Sandwich
  8. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich.
  9. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  10. Step 4: Serve
  11. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with your favorite side, such as chips, fries, or a salad.

Notes

  • Make It Healthier: Use whole-grain bread and skip the bacon for a lighter option.
  • Add Flavor: Mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt for extra zest.
  • Protein Alternative: Swap chicken for turkey or grilled tofu for a vegetarian option.
