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

Enhance Your Experience

Serve alongside crispy potato chips, fresh fruit, or a light mixed green salad. For extra indulgence, add a cup of creamy tomato soup for dipping.

Creative Variations

Transform this sandwich by using different cheese varieties, adding bacon, or incorporating fresh herbs. For a lighter version, try open-faced on whole grain bread.

Storage Success

Best enjoyed fresh, but components can be prepared ahead and assembled just before cooking. Store prepared chicken separately for best results. Through countless iterations in my kitchen, I've discovered that this sandwich represents the perfect balance of ingredients and technique. When each element is treated with care, the result is a sandwich that elevates lunch to a memorable meal.

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.
