Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or pepper jack for a kick)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1 small tomato, sliced

Butter or olive oil for grilling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro (if using). Mix until well combined and creamy.

    Build the Sandwiches: Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. On two slices, layer the chicken avocado mixture generously. Top with sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

      Close the Sandwiches: Place the remaining slices of bread on top to create sandwiches.

        Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or olive oil to the pan. Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Cut in half and serve warm.
