With the New Year coming, it's time for me to start thinking about eating better. Gone are the many holiday meals, the rich dishes, the dense cakes, cookies for miles, and the chocolate. Oh, the chocolate. If you need to get back on track too, I have the perfect recipe for you. This is one of my favorite lunches and it's so delicious, you won't even miss that fruitcake. These Grilled Chicken & Avocado Melts are made from better-for-you (but incredibly flavorful) ingredients, toasted, piled up, and melted together. Just add a piece of fruit for a totally balanced meal!
Crunchy on the bottom, smeared with a seasoned layer of chunky, creamy avocado, piled with warm, tender grilled chicken breast strips, and topped with melted mozzarella. Dreamy.
A few tricks for eating better are to always choose a multigrain bread over a processed white bread, choose a healthy fat like avocado over mayo, and always include a protein to help you feel fuller, longer. Check, check, and check.
And because I need eating better to be as easy as possible, I'm using Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips. They're already fully cooked, so you're just thawing and warming them. If you think these come out soggy or rubbery, think again. They're tender and flavorful right out of the microwave, oven, or pan.
You can find them in the freezer section of your local Sam's Club in 3 lb. bags. Just think how many recipes you can use these in! You'll save a ton of time just in prepping and cooking chicken alone! Find out more about Tyson® Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips here.
It's easy-peasy to use them! You keep them in the freezer and just pull out the amount you want to use in your recipe. Thaw and warm them in a flash and you have perfectly cooked chicken breast strips to top salads, for casseroles, soups, or anything else you might want grilled chicken with.
You can also save some cash. Get $5 off of 2 bags of Tyson® Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips through this mobile app reward.
You might think two 3 lb. bags is a lot of chicken, but you haven't tasted this melt yet. You'll use that chicken up in no time!

I know they look amazing, but what I need to convey to you is how good they taste. You guys. So good. I could eat these morning, noon, and night and not get tired of them.
They're a cinch to make. You can have all the ingredients ready to pile up while you're toasting the bread, then just a quick broil to melt the cheese. Balanced + quick
Making these for the whole family takes about 2 minutes longer. If they're fans of chicken and avocado like mine are, you'll have everyone eating better right along with you. Shhh, I won't tell.
Grab your Tyson® Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips at Sam's Club and give this recipe a try. It's a better-for-you, but totally delicious way to start the New Year!
