# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but comes together in under half an hour, perfect for when youre hungry and impatient.
  • The sweet heat from honey and chili flakes is quietly addictive, turning every bite into a little surprise.
  • You get crispy, creamy, savory, and sweet all on one plate without any complicated technique.
  • Its flexible enough to work as breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner depending on your mood.
02 -
  • Dont skip resting the chicken after grilling, it keeps the juices inside instead of spilling out when you slice.
  • Mash the avocado right before assembling or it will oxidize and turn brown even with lemon juice.
  • Use a light hand with the honey, too much will overpower the savory elements and make it cloying.
  • If your bread is too thin it will get soggy fast, so choose a thick-cut rustic loaf.
03 -
  • Slice the chicken while its still slightly warm so it stays tender and juicy on the toast.
  • Drizzle the honey in a thin zigzag pattern instead of pouring it in one spot for even sweetness in every bite.
  • Toast the bread in a dry skillet with a little butter for extra richness and flavor.
  • Use a ripe but firm avocado, if its too soft it will turn mushy and watery when mashed.
