Ingredients
  

2 slices of whole grain bread

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Butter for grilling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, cream cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

    Mix the Chicken: In another bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the cilantro (if using). Fold in half of the avocado spread until the chicken is well coated.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the remaining avocado mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread. On the other slice, layer the chicken mixture and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.

        Complete the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, avocado side down, to form a sandwich.

          Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Once melted and sizzling, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

            Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it in half. Serve warm, optionally with a side of fresh salad or sweet potato fries.
