  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • Handful of fresh spinach leaves
  • Butter for toasting

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Add olive oil to the grill or skillet and cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
  3. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  4. In a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork and mix in lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  6. Lay out two slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Layer each with the sliced chicken, avocado mixture, a slice of Swiss cheese, tomato slices, red onion, and spinach leaves.
  7. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side up.
  8. Melt a bit of butter in the grill or skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in, pressing down slightly with a spatula.
  9. Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  10. Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

For quick assembly, consider using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Store leftover components separately for best texture.
