Chicken, Avocado and Cheddar Melt
Source: Vella Cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise (light, if desired)
1/4 cup ketchup
1 scallion, cleaned and thinly sliced on the diagonal
3 teaspoons chopped Italian parsley
1 whole boneless chicken breast, cooked and skin removed
4 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cut lengthwise into 8 thin slices
4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese, large enough to cover bread
Paprika
Parsley
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, 1 teaspoon scallion slices and 2 teaspoons parsley. Reserve dressing.
Cut chicken breast in half down the center. Cut each half into 4 thin slices.
Place 2 slices of chicken on each piece of toast. Spread half the dressing over the chicken. Lay 2 avocado slices over dressing on each. Cover avocado with remaining dressing. Place a piece of Cheddar cheese on top of each sandwich. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and remaining scallion slices.
Place sandwiches under preheated broiler, 3" from flame, for 1 1/2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Remove, sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve.
Makes 4 open-faced sandwiches.
