Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 3
Place two slices of bread, butter-side-down, on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each slice.
Step 4
Top each slice with a layer of baby spinach, followed by 2 slices of cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of cooked chicken breast.
Step 5
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Spread the avocado mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of the remaining two slices of bread.
Step 7
Place the avocado-topped bread slices on top of the assembled sandwiches, butter-side-up.
Step 8
Transfer the sandwiches to the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for 1-2 minutes, and cut in half before serving.
