How to Make Avocado And Chicken Melts

  1. Slice the chicken breast horizontally in half.
  2. Place chicken in a shallow dish. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the chicken.
  3. Sprinkle with garlic pepper and turn to coat evenly. Marinate for 5 minutes.
  4. Drain the chicken and fry in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side).
  5. Remove chicken from pan, let cool slightly, and slice.
  6. In a bowl, mash or slice the avocados. (If avocados are firm, slice them.)
  7. Add the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the avocado. Mix well.
  8. Place bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil in a preheated oven for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  9. Flip the bread slices. Spread the avocado mixture evenly onto each slice, right to the edges.
  10. Top with sliced chicken, tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
  11. Return to the broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
  12. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
