Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices sourdough or ciabatta bread
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. While chicken cooks, mash avocados in a bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth yet chunky.
  3. Allow chicken to rest briefly before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. Drizzle olive oil on one side of each slice of bread. Layer mashed avocado, sliced chicken, and shredded cheddar cheese on non-oiled sides.
  5. Assemble sandwiches by topping with another slice of bread (oiled side up). Grill in the skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
