Avocados are used in many Southwestern recipes, so I feel this represents my region well. It's very easy to make and it tastes so good. My family and friends love it.

CHICKEN AVOCADO MELT



Chicken Avocado Melt image

This recipe combines some of my favorites! Chicken, avocado, monterey jack cheese, and green onions! This makes some great baked chicken. Just make sure you pound your chicken breasts so they are an even thickness so it all gets done at one time. My grocery store sells chicken breasts cut thinly that I like to use for this and eliminate the pounding. :) I also like to eat these on sandwiches, and add the toppings to the sandwiches.

AVOCADO AND CHICKEN MELTS



Avocado and Chicken Melts image

This is nice for an easy brunch/lunch/supper dish. I made these up when I had a couple of avocados that needed using and some uncooked chicken left over from making another dish. You can also use some crushed garlic in with the avocado and also top with sliced tomato before topping with the cheese. I have also made this with some shredded chicken from the deli and this works well too. If your avocado is still firm just use slices instead of mashing.

AVOCADO CHICKEN MELT



Avocado Chicken Melt image

Found in a Tyson Chicken recipe book and changed it somewhat to suit our tastes. TIP: You can sprinkle chicken with sliced green onions and serve with sliced cucumber, if desired. Add sliced green onion tops to the yogurt and red bell pepper sauce or substitute onion-flavored ranch or cucumber salad dressing for the sauce.
