Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 fresh eggs

Bread

  • 2 slices whole wheat bread or 1 English muffin

Cheese

  • 1 slice cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese

Greens

  • Handful of spinach, arugula, or lettuce

Condiments

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, mustard, or avocado spread

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook in a hot skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Let it rest briefly, then slice thinly to retain juiciness.
  2. Cook the Eggs: While the chicken rests, prepare the eggs to your preference (scrambled, fried, or poached) ensuring the yolks remain soft and the whites just set for a creamy texture.
  3. Toast the Bread: Toast the whole wheat bread or English muffin until golden and crisp to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread your chosen condiment on the toasted bread. Layer on the sliced chicken, cooked eggs, cheese, and leafy greens. Top with the other bread slice and press gently to secure.
  5. Optional Melting Step: Place the assembled sandwich back in the skillet or sandwich press for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and warm all ingredients through.

Notes

  • Pound the chicken breast lightly for even thickness and uniform cooking.
  • Cook eggs on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture and maintain creaminess.
  • Use sturdier bread like sourdough or English muffins for better structure.
  • Layer leafy greens beneath chicken to stop bread from becoming soggy.
  • Wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper for easy, mess-free portability.
