Description

Crispy golden butter-toasted sourdough stacked with seasoned grilled chicken breast, smoky crispy bacon, ripe sliced avocado, and gooey melted sharp cheddar cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick slices artisan sourdough bread
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked, seasoned & sliced)
  • 1 large ripe avocado (pitted and sliced)
  • 4 slices thick-cut smoked bacon (cooked crispy)
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese (or pepper jack)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp garlic herb mayonnaise (or Dijon mustard)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper & sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Bread & Sauce: Spread softened butter generously on the outside of each slice of sourdough bread. Spread garlic herb mayo on the inside surfaces.
  2. Layer the Sandwich: On 2 bottom bread slices, layer a slice of cheddar cheese, sliced grilled chicken breast, crispy bacon strips, and fresh avocado slices. Top with a second slice of cheese and top bread slice.
  3. Grill to Melted Perfection: Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden brown and crusty on bottom.
  4. Flip & Press: Carefully flip the sandwich, press lightly with a spatula, cover skillet with a lid for 3 minutes to melt cheese completely, and cook until golden brown.
  5. Slice & Serve: Slice diagonally and serve hot while the cheese is gooey and stretchy!
