1 avocado, sliced into pieces
04 -
4 cheese slices (cheddar, provolone, or Swiss)

1 small red onion, in thin slices

1 tomato, cut into slices

1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking chicken
# Steps:
01 -
Give the chicken a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a skillet and set it over medium-high. Fry the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until it's fully cooked. Let it sit for a moment, then slice it nice and thin.

Cut the avocado into slices and have the cheese ready to go. Set those aside for now.
03 -
Spread mayo on one side of each slice of bread and add a thin layer of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
04 -
On two pieces of bread, layer up sliced chicken, rounds of avocado, cheese slices, red onion, and tomato. Place the other slices of bread on top, mayo side facing down.
05 -
Warm butter or oil in a skillet over medium. Cook the sandwiches, gently pressing them with a spatula, for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and gooey inside.
06 -
Take the sandwiches out of the pan, let them cool a tad, slice them in half, and dig in!

You can use leftover or rotisserie chicken instead.
