Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 ripe avocado

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)

4 slices of whole grain bread, cut into halves (for mini toasts)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder (if using). Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

    Make the Avocado Spread: In another bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

      Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the halved slices of whole grain bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.

        Assemble the Toast Melts: Once the bread is toasted, start by spreading a generous layer of the avocado mixture on each toast. Top it with the creamy chicken mixture, distributing it evenly.

          Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each toast to create a cheesy, melty finish.

            Bake Again: Return the toasts to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown slightly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the mini melts from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and drizzle a little more olive oil if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
