- Slice the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice or mash the avocado to your preferred consistency.
- Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
- Crack the egg into the pan and cook to your preferred doneness (fried, scrambled, or an omelet). Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- While the egg is cooking, toast the two slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a pan until golden brown.
- Layer One Slice of Bread: Lay one slice of toasted bread on a plate.
- Add the Avocado: Spread the sliced or mashed avocado evenly over the bread.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Top the avocado with the shredded or diced chicken breast and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken.
- Add the Egg: Place the cooked egg on top of the cheese, allowing the heat from the egg to slightly melt the cheese.
- Top with the Second Slice of Bread: Finish the sandwich by placing the second slice of toasted bread on top, pressing down gently.
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately while warm.

Chicken avocado breakfast sandwich FAQ:
For this sandwich, you can cook the egg fried, scrambled, or as an omelet, based on your preference. Just ensure that it's cooked to your desired doneness and seasoned with a dash of salt and black pepper.
Yes, you can substitute whole-wheat bread with other alternatives such as sourdough, rye, or gluten-free bread if needed. Just choose a bread that you enjoy and can hold the fillings well.
Store leftover chicken and avocado separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The chicken can be reheated, but it's best to consume avocado within a day or two to avoid browning.

- Feel free to customize your sandwich with additional toppings like tomato slices, spinach, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
