Healty Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich
A warm grilled sandwich with seasoned shredded chicken, creamy avocado spread, and melted cheddar on toasted sourdough. A balance of savory, tangy, and crispy textures for a quick, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, and salt)
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or sliced)
- 4 slices sourdough or artisan bread
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil/dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat.
- In a bowl, mash avocado with lime juice and cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
- Place bread slices on a plate. Spread avocado mixture evenly on two slices.
- Layer shredded chicken on half of each avocado-coated slice. Top with cheddar cheese and remaining bread slices.
