Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise, for creaminess)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Olive oil or butter for grilling

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Add Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until creamy and combined.

    Combine Chicken: Add the shredded chicken into the avocado mixture. Fold it gently until all the chicken is coated with the creamy avocado mix. If using, stir in the chopped cilantro for added flavor.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Lay out the four slices of bread. Spread a generous portion of the chicken avocado mixture on two of the slices. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese, then place the remaining slices of bread on top to create a sandwich.

        Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter. Once heated, place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

          Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Let them cool slightly, then cut in half. Serve warm, garnished with halved cherry tomatoes on the side.
