Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 slices fresh bakery bread
- 3 slices Borden Cheese Melts can be purchased at Publix
- ½ avocado
- 2 tbsp jalapeño cream cheese
- 5-6 slices fresh jalapeno
- 1 tbsp mayo
- ½ cup shredded chicken
- 2 tbsp freshly cooked bacon bits
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan to medium heat. Then, generously spray the pan with cooking spray.
- Butter on side of each slice of your bread on the side that will be face down on the frying pan.
- Spread the jalapeño cream cheese on the other side of each slice of bread and add the shredded chicken on one side only.
- Add the bacon bits on top of the chicken and spread your avocado slices and jalapeño slices on the other piece of bread.
- Take 3 Slices of Borden’s Grilled Cheese Melts and fold them in half. Layer the cheese melts on top of the jalapeño and then add the mayo on top of the cheese.
- Put the slices of bread together. Put the sandwich on the skillet and let sizzle. Allow 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. The Borden’s Grilled Cheese Melts will get nice and ooey gooey!
- Flip once or twice so both sides of the bread are a beautiful golden brown. If you need to turn down the heat to a medium-low so the bread doesn’t burn, please do.
- Pair with your favorite soup, salad, or slaw and enjoy!

Notes
- Get GOOD bread. It doesn’t have to be wildly expensive. Homemade or fresh from your local bakery is best. If it's still slightly warm and has crusty edges, it will make this sandwich EXTRA delicious.
- I do not recommend reheating in the microwave. You want to enjoy it fresh because it's crunchy and crispy! However, if you have leftovers you want to enjoy at a later date, I suggest greasing a skillet and grilling it for just a few minutes over low heat to get it warm again.
