# Steps:
01 -
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked through with no pink remaining. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

Slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion. Arrange the cheese slices for easy assembly.

Combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then spread evenly on one side of each bread slice.

On two bread slices (spread-side up), layer the sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato. Top with the remaining bread slices, spread-side down.

Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, gently pressing with a spatula. Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted.

Remove sandwiches from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice diagonally in half. Serve warm.

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like basil or cilantro to the sandwich.
