Ingredients
Scale
Gathering the right ingredients is like gathering the love and care necessary to craft a memory. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough works wonderfully)
- 4 slices of mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- Butter for spreading
For a twist, you can substitute the chicken with turkey or add a slice of tomato for extra freshness. Remember, cooking is about making it your own!
Instructions
Let’s bring this memory to life with these simple steps:
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken rests, mash the avocados in a bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
- On the non-buttered side, layer the avocado mash, sliced chicken, and cheese. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill the sandwich on each side for about 3-4 minutes, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
As Mama Lou would say, “Patience is a secret ingredient.” Letting the chicken rest makes all the difference in keeping it juicy.
