Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat grill pan and cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  2. While chicken cools, heat a skillet, toast one side of each slice of bread with butter until golden brown. Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, spread on unbuttered side.
  3. Assemble sandwich by layering sliced chicken, avocado, and cheese on toasted side of one bread slice. Add any optional toppings, then place second slice on top, buttered side facing out.
  4. Grill assembled sandwich in skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until cheese melts and bread is golden. Use lid for better melting.
  5. Remove sandwich from skillet, let rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
