Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 chicken breast (grilled or pan-seared)
  • 2 large eggs (fried or scrambled)

Bread & Cheese

  • 2 slices of sturdy whole grain or artisan bread
  • 1–2 slices cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese

Vegetables & Condiments

  • 1/4 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • A handful of leafy greens (spinach or arugula)
  • Mayonnaise, mustard, or hot sauce (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your preferred herbs. Cook over medium heat on a grill or skillet until it reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and juices run clear. Let it rest briefly, then slice thinly.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Lightly scramble the eggs with a bit of butter for a creamy texture or fry sunny-side up for a runny yolk. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices until golden brown and slightly crisp to provide a sturdy base and pleasant crunch.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread your chosen condiment on the bread. Layer the sliced chicken breast, eggs, cheese, avocado, and leafy greens. Top with the second slice of bread and press gently to hold together.
  5. Final Touch: Optionally, press the assembled sandwich on a grill pan or sandwich press briefly to melt the cheese and warm everything through before serving.

Notes

  • Perfect seasoning: Generously season chicken and eggs with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
  • Use fresh eggs for superior taste and texture.
  • Toasting the bread balances the sandwich’s soft fillings with a satisfying crunch.
  • Allow cooked chicken to rest to retain juiciness.
  • Layer wetter ingredients (avocado, greens) between drier ones to prevent sogginess.
