Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
Filling
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for toasting the sandwiches.
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, mixing well to evenly season the chicken.
- Butter the bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice to help achieve a golden, crispy texture when baked.
- Arrange bread on baking sheet: Place two slices of bread on a baking sheet with the buttered side facing down.
- Add the chicken layer: Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken mixture over the two slices of bread on the baking sheet.
- Add avocado: Layer sliced avocado over the chicken mixture to add creaminess and flavor.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the avocado slices.
- Top with remaining bread: Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the sandwiches, butter side facing up.
- Bake the sandwiches: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasted to a golden brown.
- Cool slightly: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes so the filling sets and is easier to eat.
- Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better toasting results if available.
- You can swap cheddar cheese with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
- Feel free to add a slice of tomato or some leafy greens for extra freshness.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before shredding.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.
