Ingredients
  

2 slices of whole grain bread

1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (grilled or rotisserie works well)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)

Lettuce leaves (for serving)

Tomato slices (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, scoop the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork. Stir in the lime juice, Greek yogurt, cilantro (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.

    Combine Chicken and Cheese: In another bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half of the mozzarella cheese. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on one slice of bread. Top with the chicken and cheese mixture, then add a layer of sliced tomatoes and a few lettuce leaves. Finally, spread a little more avocado on the second slice of bread and place it on top to close the sandwich.

        Grill the Sandwich: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You can press down slightly with a spatula for an even grill.

          Serve: Remove from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut in half. Optionally, serve with a side of fresh greens or chips.
