CHICKEN AVOCADO MELT

This recipe combines some of my favorites! Chicken, avocado, monterey jack cheese, and green onions! This makes some great baked chicken. Just make sure you pound your chicken breasts so they are an even thickness so it all gets done at one time. My grocery store sells chicken breasts cut thinly that I like to use for this and eliminate the pounding. :) I also like to eat these on sandwiches, and add the toppings to the sandwiches.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken breast halves, skinned and boned
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
1/3 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 avocado, ripe, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded (6 oz)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
1/4 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
cherry tomatoes, parsley (optional) or fresh cilantro stem, sliced black olives (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of wax paper. Flatten them to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
  • Combine the cornstarch, cumin, and garlic salt in a small bowl, stirring well.
  • Combine the beaten egg and water in a small bowl, stirring well. Place the cornmeal in a shallow plate. Dredge the chicken in the cornstarch mixture; dip in the egg mixture, and then dredge in the cornmeal.
  • Saute the chicken in oil in a large skillet for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan.
  • Arrange the avocado slices over the chicken, and sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and the chicken is done. Top with sour cream, green onions, and sweet red pepper. Garnish if desired.

Tips:

  • For a crispy sandwich, use a hearty bread that can hold up to the fillings. A sourdough or a French baguette are both good choices.
  • To get the most flavor out of the avocado, use a ripe one. A ripe avocado will be slightly soft to the touch and will have a deep green color.
  • If you don't have any mayonnaise on hand, you can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • If you're using a spicy chicken, you can tone down the heat by using a mild cheese. A cheddar or a mozzarella cheese are both good choices.
  • If you don't have a panini press, you can grill the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat.

Conclusion:

The chicken avocado melt is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a good source of protein and healthy fats. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
