Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Rye bread
- 150 grams Cooked chicken breast
- 1 medium Avocado
- 60 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Place the rye bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Slice the cooked chicken breast thinly and evenly distribute it over the rye bread slices.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork, then mix in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture over the chicken on each bread slice, creating an even layer.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of each slice, ensuring it covers the avocado layer.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven carefully and let the sandwiches cool for a minute or two.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
