Ingredients
  

2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)

Fresh spinach or arugula (optional)

Butter for spreading on bread

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a bowl, mash the avocado with the lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy, adjusting seasonings to your taste.

    Prepare the Chicken: If you’re starting with cooked chicken, shred or slice it into bite-sized pieces. Mix the chicken with mayonnaise if you desire a creamier texture; season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture on one slice of bread. Layer the shredded chicken on top, followed by the cheese, and any fresh spinach or arugula if using. Top with the second slice of bread.

        Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter the outer sides of both slices of bread. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side, allowing the cheese to melt, about another 3 minutes.

          Serve: Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool slightly, then slice in half and serve immediately.
