Ingredients

For the Avocado-Hummus Spread:

½ Avocado
Lemon juice to taste
Smoked sea salt to taste
200 g store-bought hummus

For the Ciabatta and Cheese:

1 Ciabatta halved
Extra virgin olive oil as needed for toasting
30 g Smoked gouda or smoked cheddar sliced

For the Chicken:

2 Boneless chicken thighs tenderised
1 teaspoon Avocado oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Arugula Dressing:

50 g Arugula
Lemon juice to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, mash together the avocado, smoked sea salt, and lemon juice. Add in the hummus and combine until well-incorporated.
Preheat a cast iron pan over medium heat. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on both inner sides of the ciabatta halves. Place them sliced side down in the pan and toast until golden brown. Flip and toast the other side.
Once toasted, arrange slices of cheese on one half, sprinkle a bit of water into the pan, and cover with a lid. Once the cheese is melted, remove the ciabatta from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add avocado oil. Once heated, place the chicken thighs skin side down. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the skin turns golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 72°C (165°F). Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest.
In a mixing bowl, combine arugula, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure even seasoning.
Assemble the sandwich by spread a generous amount of the avocado-hummus mixture on the non-cheese side of the toasted ciabatta. Layer on the cooked chicken, followed by the dressed arugula. Top off with the cheese-topped half of the ciabatta. Serve immediately.
