Ingredients:
- 2 slices sourdough, ciabatta, or sandwich bread
- 1/2 ripe avocado, mashed or sliced
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded or grilled)
- 1–2 slices mozzarella, provolone, or cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter (for toasting)
- Optional: tomato slices, crispy bacon, red onion, or arugula

Instructions:
- Prep the filling: If needed, warm the chicken. Mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper (or slice it for texture).
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread aioli or mayo on the inside of the bread. Layer avocado, chicken, and cheese. Add extras like tomato or bacon.
- Toast it up: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the outside of the bread. Toast the sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden and the cheese is melted.
