Ingredients
  

2 slices of sourdough bread

1 ripe avocado

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or sliced

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Tomato slices (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Mix in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

    Make the Chicken Mixture: In another bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until well-combined.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Lay out the slices of sourdough bread. On one slice, spread a generous amount of avocado mixture. On the other slice, layer the chicken mixture followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.

        Optional Add-ins: If you like, add fresh tomato slices on top of the cheese for extra flavor and freshness.

          Grill the Sandwich: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich carefully in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

            Flip and Melt: Carefully flip the sandwich and press down lightly with a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

              Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
