Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
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.
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.
Slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
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.
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.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Avocado Melt!
