Chicken Avocado Melt is one of my favourite sandwiches. It does take a little time to prepare but is so worth it. The moist coated chicken with warm avocado and melted cheese is a thing of beauty. This is popular with my children and their friends and often requested for weekend brunches.
Chicken Avocado Melt
A classic meal for the taste conscious. The combination of the chicken, avocado and cheese all baked together makes this a lovely treat.
