Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mash half of a ripe avocado using a fork until smooth. Add one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, along with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Take two slices of your chosen bread, and spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice. On one slice, generously spread the avocado mixture, then layer half a cup of shredded cooked chicken and two slices of cheese.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwich in the skillet with the mayo-side facing outward. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Carefully flip the sandwich over, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half and serve immediately while warm.
