Chicken avocado melt sandwich takes me back to a weekend brunch when I wanted to create something cheesy and hearty but still fresh. I had leftover grilled chicken, ripe avocados, and a few slices of cheddar, so I layered them on toasted bread and melted everything together into the most satisfying bite.

Since then, this sandwich has become a staple in my kitchen because it combines juicy chicken, creamy avocado, and gooey cheese with perfectly toasted bread. Every bite is rich and comforting while the avocado keeps it light and fresh.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe, and you can always add more toppings to make it your own!

Ripe avocado – Creamy and adds freshness to balance the cheese.
Cheddar cheese – Melts beautifully and gives a sharp, cheesy flavor.
Tomato slices – Add juiciness and a slight tang.
Bread slices – Thick and sturdy to hold all the fillings.
Butter – To toast the bread to golden perfection.
Salt and pepper – To season the avocado mash.

Finally, I slice the sandwich in half and serve it warm while the cheese is still gooey.
