Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich (Print-Friendly Version)

Tender chicken, sliced avocado, and melted cheddar cheese on crispy bread—simple indulgence with every bite.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main Components

01 - 2 slices bread, such as whole wheat, white, or sourdough
02 - 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
03 - 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
04 - 120 grams shredded cheddar cheese

→ For Grilling

05 - 15 grams butter, softened

→ Seasonings

06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C for even, consistent melting and crisping.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
03 - Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice, ensuring full coverage for optimal crispness.
04 - Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
05 - Distribute the seasoned chicken mixture evenly across the two bread slices.
06 - Arrange sliced avocado on top of the chicken layer, spacing slices for even coverage.
07 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the avocado to ensure an even melt.
08 - Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing up, to form the sandwich.
09 - Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden and crisp.
10 - Remove the sandwiches from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Select a ripe but firm avocado for optimal texture and presentation.
02 - Customize the seasoning of the chicken with fresh herbs or a pinch of smoked paprika for a unique flavor twist.
03 - For a crispier exterior, sandwiches can also be finished on a skillet over medium heat instead of solely baking.
