Description
A delicious and hearty Chicken Avocado Melt Sandwich that combines shredded chicken, creamy avocado, and melted cheddar cheese on whole grain bread.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Butter for spreading
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. If desired, fold in the chopped cilantro for added flavor.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of two slices, evenly spread the chicken and avocado mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Substitute the Greek yogurt with mayonnaise for a creamier texture, or use a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
