Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

  1. Prep the avocado: In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon/lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy. 🥑
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread avocado onto two slices of bread. Top with chicken, any optional add-ins, and 2 slices of cheese per sandwich.
  3. Close and butter: Place the remaining bread slices on top and lightly butter the outsides.
  4. Toast: Heat a skillet over medium. Cook sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese has fully melted. The center should feel warm and gooey. ✨

💡 Pro Tips

  • Shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken for the fastest prep.
  • Extra Creamy: Add 1 tablespoon mayo or Greek yogurt to the avocado spread.
  • Crispier Finish: Press down gently with a spatula while toasting for an extra-crunchy exterior.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the chicken and avocado mixture ahead of time (separately) and assemble just before cooking.
