Ingredients

Scale

Proteins & Dairy

  • Cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced, about 4 oz
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1–2 slices cheese (cheddar or Swiss)

Bread & Spreads

  • 2 slices whole wheat or brioche bread
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or mustard

Fresh Toppings

  • Handful of spinach or arugula
  • 3–4 slices avocado

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start with cooked, shredded or sliced chicken breast. If using leftovers, warm it gently in a skillet over medium-low heat with a light seasoning of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor before use.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Fry or scramble the eggs according to your preference. For a fluffy scramble, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and cook over low heat, gently stirring until set but still moist.
  3. Toast the Bread: Toast your choice of bread until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges to ensure it holds up well against the moist ingredients.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise or mustard on one side of the toasted bread. Layer on the cooked eggs, followed by the warm chicken slices, cheese, avocado slices, and fresh greens like spinach or arugula.
  5. Final Touch: Close the sandwich with the remaining slice of toasted bread. Press down gently to meld the flavors, then cut the sandwich in half for easy handling and serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for better toasting and crunch that resists sogginess.
  • Cook eggs over low heat to keep them creamy and avoid dryness.
  • Serve chicken warm to maintain the comforting texture and flavor.
  • Sprinkle fresh herbs like basil or cilantro over eggs for added aroma and flavor.
  • Place cheese under hot ingredients to help it melt perfectly within the sandwich.
