Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 ripe avocado, pitted and mashed

1 tablespoon lime juice

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or ciabatta)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

1 medium tomato, sliced

Fresh spinach leaves or arugula

Optional: hot sauce, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet, let rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.

    Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a bowl, combine the mashed avocado with lime juice, adding a pinch of salt and pepper for taste. Mix until creamy and thoroughly combined.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Preheat a grill pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on one side of each bread slice. Top two slices with the cooked chicken slices, followed by a layer of tomato slices, shredded cheese, and spinach or arugula. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, avocado side down.

        Toast the Sandwich: Place the sandwiches in the preheated grill pan or sandwich press. If using a pan, use another pan or a weight to press the sandwiches down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

          Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the pan, cut them in half, and if desired, drizzle hot sauce on top for an extra kick. Serve immediately with your favorite side, like chips or a salad.
