Chicken and Avocado Caprese Open-Faced Sandwich
Kudos to my sister Dana who inspired me to make this sandwich. I used roasted garlic crusty bread, leftover Balsamic, Garlic, and Basil Chicken, avocado, tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella for this delicious and easy chicken and avocado caprese open-faced sandwich recipe. My kids had friends who were spending the night and all liked it, and my husband and I loved it. I served these open-faced sandwiches with a simple salad and fresh berries.

kudos to your sister indeed–this sounds fabulous! i’ve often thought that caprese appetizers and salads would greatly benefit by the addition of some avocado. 🙂
This is such a great idea. We are always looking for new leftover ideas and this is one we will add to our rotation! I bet I could even make it on my grill! Thanks for the delicious idea.
I know I always say this, but you make the best recipes with your leftovers, Pam! What a perfect way to use the chicken. You are so creative!
Oooohhh.. this does sound wonderful! And what a great way to use up any leftover chicken…. This would work well on the grill too 🙂
This sandwich sounds wonderful! That chicken is still making my mouth water.
I do these kinds of melts when I don’t want to cook.
Although you did them better than I by adding in the chicken.
I’ve been so lazy this summer in terms of baking.
I hope it changes lol
I just love the look of the melted cheese on top. It would be totally ruined by another slice of bread, this is perfect!
sounds scrumptious and I love the colors of it. Avocados are such a pretty green!
Open-faced sandwiches are the best! And the choice of toppings here is amazing! I think I have all the ingredients on hand so I may be making this for dinner!
Pam this look delicious! Love the color!
Definitely an awesome idea to use up those leftovers! What isn’t made better with cheese and avocado.
Looks so yummy!
