Notes
Tips for the Best Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich:
✅ Crispier bread? Lightly toast it first before assembling.✅ Cheese not melting? Cover with a lid while cooking.
✅ Soggy sandwich? Don’t overload with avocado—less is more!
✅ Make-ahead option: Prep chicken and avocado separately, then assemble fresh.
✅ No avocado? Swap for hummus or mashed white beans.
