Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Spread:
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (if using) on one side of each bread slice.
- Layer one slice of bread (or sandwich roll) with shredded chicken, a generous amount of avocado spread, a slice of cheese, and any optional add-ins like tomato or onion. Top with another bread slice.
- Toast the Sandwiches:
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve:
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately with chips, salad, or your favorite side dish.
Notes
- To save time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken breast.
- Swap out the bread for a wrap or low-carb option if desired.
- Add a drizzle of hot sauce or sriracha for a spicy kick!
