– 1 ripe avocado
– 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or sliced

Making a Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich can be a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps to achieve a perfectly grilled, flavorful sandwich:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean workspace. Ensure your cooked chicken is ready to go.
2. Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Add salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
3. Mix with Mayonnaise (optional): If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in the mayonnaise along with the mashed avocado.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
– Spread the avocado mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
– Layer the shredded or sliced chicken on top of the avocado on one slice.
– Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken, then add any optional toppings like tomato slices or lettuce.
5. Top It Off: Place the second slice of bread, avocado side down, on top of the layered ingredients.
6. Preheat the Pan: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil.
7. Grill the Sandwich: Once the pan is hot, place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
8. Flip the sandwich carefully. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the bread crisps up.
9. Check for Melting: Once both sides are nicely browned and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the heat.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve warm.
