Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for toasting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.

      Assemble the Sandwich:

        - Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice.

          - Layer the fresh spinach leaves on one slice, followed by a layer of sliced chicken.

            - Spread the mashed avocado over the chicken, topped with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese.

              Top and Grill: Place the other slice of bread on top of each sandwich (with the mayonnaise side facing the filling). Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat, adding olive oil or butter. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet.

                Cook until Golden: Grill the sandwiches for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

                  Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then slice in half. Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or chips.
