This grilled chicken and avocado sandwich is an absolute must-try. It is loaded with flavor and surprisingly easy to make.
This delicious sandwich has a simple but delicious combination of flavors. I love to use shredded leftover roast BBQ chicken, freshly sliced avocado, and some high-quality brie cheese. It is a delightful sandwich to have for a quick and easy lunch.
By following the recipe, you will get a single toasted chicken avocado sandwich which will only be enough for one person. However, you can easily double or triple the recipe if you need to feed multiple people. Alternatively, if you are feeding big eaters, you may need to make two sandwiches per person.
If you want to feed multiple people, I highly recommend making some side dishes to go along with the sandwiches. My favorite side dish is a good amount of delicious potato fries. Alternatively, a simple salad will also suffice.
Changing the Toastie Ingredients
More ingredients can be added to the sandwich for a bit more flavor. For example, sliced red onion, baby spinach, crispy bacon, or even sliced bell pepper will add a ton of flavor to this dish. However, be careful adding more ingredients as it may make the sandwich hard to eat.
If you do not have any pre-cooked chicken, then you will need to cook some beforehand. Simply cook the chicken on the sandwich press or frypan until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (170°F). You can season the chicken with some extra herbs and spices for more flavor.
You can easily swap the cheese for a different cheese or use a variety of cheeses. Mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss, or even provolone cheese will work very nicely with chicken and avocado. I recommend sticking to roughly 100g (3.5 oz) of cheese per sandwich.
Some extra seasonings can be added to the sandwich for a little bit of a flavor boost. For example, a pinch of cumin, paprika, or even cayenne pepper might add that extra bit of flavor that you want. Personally, I like the recipe without any extra ingredients.
