Instructions

Cut into the avocado lengthwise until you hit the pit.  Rotate the knife around the entire pit until you have two halves.  Carefully hit the pit with the knife until it punctures it.  Turn the knife to pop it out.  Push a spoon between the avocado and the skin and carve the avocado out of its skin.  Discard the skin.
  2. Chop the avocado into cubes.  Add to a medium bowl and mash with a fork until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. 
  3. Finely chop the cilantro and add to the avocado.
  4. Add the shredded or diced chicken to the avocado mixture. Mix well
  5. Scoop half of the avocado mixture on one slice of the ciabatta.  Repeat this on a second slice.  Top each slice with the remaining two slices.

 

Notes:

Quick Tip:

  • If baking the chicken yourself: 
    • Preheat the oven to 400 F, drizzle the chicken with olive oil, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
    • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
    • Remember, the chicken will continue to cook from residual heat after you pull it out of the oven.
    • Let the breasts sit for 5 to 10 minutes and then take the internal temperature to ensure it is 165 F.

Nutritional Highlights:

  • Chicken is a great source of lean protein, which aids in muscle growth and repair.
  • Avocado is a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which is important for a healthy heart.
