Description
A delicious Grilled Chicken Avocado Melt featuring tender grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and melted cheese between slices of whole grain bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb or 450 g)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let rest and slice into thin strips.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado until creamy and season with salt and black pepper.
- Spread mashed avocado on two slices of bread, layer with sliced chicken, fresh spinach, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- In the skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-low heat. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with grilled tofu.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan cheese.
- For gluten sensitivities, opt for gluten-free bread.
- Press down on the sandwich while grilling for even cheese melting.
