Ultimate Chicken Avocado Grilled Cheese
Makes 1 sandwich

 

Ingredients:
2 slices whole wheat bread
2 ounces cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 oz part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 slices of tomato
1/4 avocado
1 tbsp light ranch dressing

Directions:
1. Lightly toast the bread. (This is my secret for a perfectly crisp grilled cheese without using butter on the bread. Helps cut back on saturated fat.)
2. Mash the avocado with the ranch dressing.
3. Put a pan over medium heat. Layer the avocado and ranch mixture, tomato, chicken, and cheese between the bread.
4. Place the grilled cheese in the pan and push down on one side with a spatula.
5. Cook until each side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
