Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into thin strips.

While the chicken is cooking, mash the ripe avocado in a bowl using a fork until it's smooth with a few small chunks remaining.

Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the four slices, spreading it out to cover the bread.
-
Top the avocado layer on each slice with the sliced chicken, dividing it equally among the slices.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken on each slice, ensuring it covers the chicken evenly.
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Once done, remove the Avocado Chicken Melts from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve hot and enjoy the ooey-gooey goodness of this delightful dish!
