Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich
  1. Season the boneless skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let the chicken sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
  3. Slice your ripe avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato. Arrange slices for easy access.
  4. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice and Dijon mustard on the other side.
  5. On two of the bread slices, layer chicken, avocado, and cheese, then add onion and tomato. Top with remaining slices, mayonnaise side down.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted.
  7. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, and slice in half. Serve warm.
