My sandwich mentor always said, "The order of assembly makes the masterpiece." After countless sandwiches, this wisdom proves true every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ What's the best bread to use?

Sourdough or ciabatta work great because they're sturdy and crisp up nicely. Any hearty bread that can hold up to grilling will work.

→ Can I use leftover chicken?

Absolutely! Leftover grilled or roasted chicken works perfectly. Just warm it slightly before adding to the sandwich.

→ How do I pick ripe avocados?

Gently press the avocado - it should yield slightly but not be mushy. Avoid very firm or very soft ones.

→ Can I make this ahead?

It's best fresh, but you can prep the chicken ahead. Wait to cut the avocado until ready to use to prevent browning.

→ Why is my sandwich soggy?

Make sure to pat tomato slices dry and don't overfill. Grill the bread well to create a barrier against wet ingredients.
