Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing thinly.
- Slice the avocado and prepare the cheese.
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice.
