Scale
  • 2 boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tomato (sliced)
  • Butter or olive oil for grilling the sandwiches

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  2. Prepare the Avocado and Cheese:Slice the avocado and prepare the cheese slices. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Bread:Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches:On two slices of bread, layer the sliced chicken, avocado, and cheese. Add a few slices of red onion and tomato on top.Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches:Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or olive oil to the pan.Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
  6. Serve:Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm.
