Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 3
While the chicken cooks, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
Step 4
Slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside.
Step 5
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwich, spread the mashed avocado on the unbuttered side of two bread slices. Layer with sliced chicken, tomato slices, spinach leaves, and 2 slices of cheddar cheese per sandwich. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up.
Step 7
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Avocado Melt!
