This Irresistible Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich combines tender shredded chicken with creamy mashed avocado and melted cheese on toasted sourdough or whole grain bread. Enhanced by optional fresh veggies and a hint of tangy mustard mayo, this sandwich offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures for a quick, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwich

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or sliced), preferably rotisserie chicken
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 4 slices sourdough or whole grain bread (gluten-free bread can be used as well)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (pepper jack cheese optional for a spicy twist)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Butter or olive oil, for toasting

Optional Add-ins

  • Tomato slices
  • Red onion slices
  • Crispy bacon
  • Fresh spinach or arugula

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Mash the avocado: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Add a little lime juice and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one side of two slices of bread. Top the avocado with the chicken mixture, then layer the shredded cheese and any optional add-ins such as tomato slices, red onion, crispy bacon, or fresh spinach. Finish by placing the remaining bread slices on top to close the sandwiches.
  4. Grill the sandwiches: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil to the pan. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted completely.
  5. Serve warm: Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately. Pair with a simple side salad or baked sweet potato fries for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves preparation time and adds flavor.
  • Adding a splash of lime juice to mashed avocado prevents discoloration and brightens the flavor.
  • Butter or olive oil toasted bread provides a satisfying crispy texture reminiscent of café-style melts.
  • Optional add-ins like bacon, tomato, and greens add layers of flavor and freshness.
  • For a healthier twist, swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt to reduce fat content and increase protein.
