Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 ripe avocado

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional for a kick)

4 slices of whole grain bread, cut in half (for mini toasts)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with lime juice, a pinch of salt, freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder (if using). Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated with the mixture. Set aside.

    Make the Avocado Spread: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado using a fork until it's creamy and smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor. Set aside the avocado spread for assembly.

      Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the halved slices of whole grain bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, ensuring each piece is coated. Toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and crisp.

        Assemble the Toast Melts: Once the bread is toasted, take each piece and generously spread the creamy avocado mixture over the top. Follow with a layer of the seasoned chicken mixture, distributing it evenly across all the toasts.

          Add the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken-topped avocado to create a deliciously melted topping.

            Bake Again: Place the assembled toasts back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and has started to turn a light golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the mini melts from the oven. Garnish each toast with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and flavor. If desired, drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best taste!
