Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 slices sourdough bread (or whole wheat bread for a healthier option)
  • 1 cup cooked grilled chicken breast, sliced (or shredded for easier eating)
  • ½ ripe avocado, mashed
  • ½ teaspoon lime juice (prevents browning and adds freshness)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese (or substitute with mozzarella or Swiss cheese)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Optional Add-Ons for More Flavor:

Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick
Try sriracha mayo for extra creaminess
Swap regular bread for keto-friendly bread for a low-carb version


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Spread

  • In a small bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
  • Mix in lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for extra flavor.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

  • Spread the avocado mixture on one slice of sourdough bread.
  • Layer the grilled chicken slices evenly over the avocado spread.
  • Place cheddar cheese slices on top of the chicken.
  • Cover with the second slice of bread.

Step 3: Butter the Bread

  • Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of both bread slices.

Step 4: Grill to Perfection

  • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
  • Place the sandwich on the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Press the sandwich gently with a spatula to get a crispy golden crust.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Remove from heat and slice diagonally for that perfect Instagram-worthy presentation.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm!

Pro Tip: To get that café-style crispy crust, use a panini press or cast-iron skillet!

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality bread – Sourdough, whole wheat, or brioche work best.
Let the cheese melt naturally – Cover the pan for the last 30 seconds.
Use real butter – Avoid margarine for the best crispy, golden texture.
Try different cheeses – Swiss, provolone, or gouda all work well.
