Ingredients
  

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or canned
  • 1 medium avocado mashed with lemon juice
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 4 slices bread of choice

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup pickles
  • Chips for serving

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • Place the cooked chicken into a mixing bowl and shred it using two forks. If using canned chicken, drain well and gently separate the pieces.

Step 2: Mash the Avocado

  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy. Add a splash of lemon juice to keep it fresh and flavorful.

Step 3: Combine the Filling

  • Mix the mashed avocado with the shredded chicken until evenly combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

  • Lay out two slices of bread. Spread the chicken-avocado mixture onto one slice, then top generously with grated cheddar cheese. Add pickles if desired, then place the second slice of bread on top.

Step 5: Grill the Sandwich

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side until the cheese melts completely.

Step 6: Serve

  • Remove the Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1 minute before slicing in half. Serve warm with chips or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Swap cheddar for mozzarella, Swiss, or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Whole wheat bread adds extra fiber and texture.
  • Serve with tomato soup for a comforting meal combo.
  • Add crispy lettuce after grilling for fresh crunch.
