  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, multigrain, etc.)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter for toasting bread
  • Additional toppings: tomato slices, crispy bacon, or fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly coated and set aside.
  2. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Slice or mash according to your preference. Add a pinch of salt and lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture on one side of a slice of bread. Top with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Add additional toppings if desired.
  4. Butter the outside of the bread slices lightly. Place the assembled sandwich in a skillet over medium heat or use a Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 for a quicker melt. Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize with your favorite cheese varieties or additional toppings.
  • Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture.
  • For extra crunch, consider adding crispy bacon or fresh herbs.
