- mayonnaise
- lime juice

- salt

Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: If you’re using leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. If you’re starting with raw chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices, then cook it in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Let it cool slightly before shredding.
- Mash the avocado: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt for flavor. You can also mix in diced tomatoes or chopped cilantro for added freshness.
- Combine the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the mashed avocado. Mix in your choice of cheese, and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread a layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Spoon the chicken and avocado mixture generously onto the unspread side of one slice. Top with the other slice of bread, mayonnaise side facing out.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You can also press down slightly with a spatula for an even crispier texture.
- Slice and serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it sit for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
