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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Place the rye bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Step 3
Slice the cooked chicken breast thinly and evenly distribute it over the rye bread slices.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spread the mashed avocado mixture over the chicken on each bread slice, creating an even layer.
Step 6
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of each slice, ensuring it covers the avocado layer.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven carefully and let the sandwiches cool for a minute or two.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
