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.

I love to add a sprinkle of chili flakes to the avocado for a little heat. You can also use sourdough bread or add bacon for extra flavor. For a creamier texture, mix a bit of mayonnaise with the mashed avocado.
