  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Avocado Spread:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional

For Assembly:

  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 3 tbsp butter softened
  • 8 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise optional

Instructions
 

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pound chicken to ½-inch thickness.
  • Mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken evenly.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice thinly.

2️⃣ Make the Avocado Spread

  • Mash avocados in a bowl.
  • Mix in lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

3️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Butter one side of each bread slice. Place 4 slices butter-side down.
  • Spread mayonnaise (if using) on the inside.
  • Layer cheese, sliced chicken, avocado spread, tomato, spinach, and red onion.
  • Top with another cheese slice and bread (buttered side up).

4️⃣ Cook the Sandwich

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melts.
  • Rest for 1 minute, then cut diagonally and serve!

Notes

  • Make ahead: Cook the chicken and prep the avocado spread in advance.
  • Variations: Try adding bacon, buffalo sauce, or pesto for extra flavor!
  • Storage: Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for a day.
