Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Generously season both sides of the boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Drizzle olive oil into the skillet and place the seasoned chicken breasts into the hot skillet, cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side until done.
  3. Prepare the fresh ingredients: slice the ripe avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato. Set aside for assembly.
  4. Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each slice of bread. Stack the sliced chicken, followed by avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato on two slices.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the assembled sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Carefully remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

Allow the cooked chicken to rest before slicing for juiciness. Use ripe avocados for creaminess. Mix different cheeses for flavor enhancement. Ensure the skillet is hot enough to avoid sogginess and promote crispiness.
