This recipe takes a traditional French dish and gives it a California
twist. A good portion of the fat comes from the avocado, which has
mostly heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
This recipe serves one, but go ahead and make a few more servings so
you'll have leftovers.
Prep: 3 min
Cook: 20 min
Servings: 1
4 oz boneless chicken breast
Pinch salt
Pepper
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 oz extra lean ham
1 slice avocado
1 slice fresh tomato
1 oz Monterrey Jack Cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Wash and pat dry the chicken, remove any visible fat. Place chicken in
a zip lock bag. Pound out the chicken to a 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness.
Season with salt and pepper.
Heat saute pan then add oil. Saute chicken until browned on both sides.
Remove chicken from the saute pan and place into an oven safe baking
dish. Sear ham in the hot pan just until browned. Place ham on top of
the chicken. Continue to layer with the tomato, avocado and then cheese.
Bake until chicken reaches 165 degrees F and cheese is bubbly. Serve
warm.
TIP: Try adding the avocado after the chicken is baked and serve it
as a garnish.
