Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 ripe avocado, mashed

4 slices of whole grain bread

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 medium tomato, sliced

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh cilantro or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let cool, then slice or shred the chicken.

    Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mix the mashed avocado with Greek yogurt or mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This will be your creamy avocado spread.

      Assemble the Sandwich: On two slices of whole grain bread, spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture. Layer on sliced tomatoes, followed by the cooked chicken. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

        Grill the Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwiches (open-faced) in a skillet over low heat or on a pan with the lid on. Cook until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. You can also toast the other two slices of bread and then place them on top of the melted half to create a complete sandwich.

          Serve and Garnish: Once the cheese is melted to your liking, carefully remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Cut in half, garnish with fresh cilantro or basil, if desired, and serve warm.
