- While cooking slice bread into chunky sandwich slices and butter.
- When chicken is done take out and set oven to broil, place bread under broiler.

- Remove bread and keep broiler on.
- Cut the chicken in half, to make it thinner.
- Slice the avocado.
- Take the toasted bread bottoms, layer; 1 slice cheese, 1/2 of 1 chicken breast, 2 tomato slices, 3 basil leaves, 2 slices of avocado, 1/2 slice of chicken, 1 slice of cheese.
