For the Sandwich
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken seasoned with your favorite spices; rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver!

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice adds a refreshing acidity to the avocado spread
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped (optional); enhances flavor beautifully
  • salt and pepper to taste; provides essential seasoning for balance
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese freshly grated cheese melts better
  • 4 slices sourdough or artisan bread multigrain, ciabatta, or a baguette are fantastic alternatives
  • 2 tablespoons butter for perfectly toasting the bread
