Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich (Print-Friendly Version)

Savor juicy chicken, creamy avocado, and gooey cheese layered in toasted bread for delicious, melty comfort.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Sandwich Components

01 - 4 slices bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or ciabatta
02 - 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
03 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced
04 - 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 15 g unsalted butter

→ Seasonings

06 - 5 ml garlic powder
07 - 5 ml onion powder
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How to Prepare:

01 - Set oven to 175°C and allow to fully preheat.
02 - Combine shredded chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly so the chicken is evenly seasoned.
03 - Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
04 - Arrange two slices of buttered bread, buttered side down, on a baking tray lined with parchment.
05 - Divide the seasoned chicken mixture evenly over the bread. Top with sliced avocado, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
06 - Place the remaining two bread slices on top, buttered side facing up.
07 - Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is golden and crisp.
08 - Remove from oven and allow sandwiches to cool for several minutes. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For optimal sandwich texture, use ripe yet firm avocado. Any bread variety works well; crusty options add extra crunch. Mix in fresh herbs to the chicken for an added flavour layer. Toasting in a panini press or skillet yields a crispier finish.
02 - Ensure the baking sheet and sandwiches cool slightly before handling to avoid burns.
