Guacamole Chicken Melt
Seasoned chicken breasts are browned in butter and olive oil, topped with homemade guacamole and slices of pepper jack cheese, then broiled.
Guacamole Chicken Melt Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons Creole-style seasoning
2 avocados, peeled and pitted
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 small tomato, diced
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
garlic powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices pepper jack cheese
How to Make Guacamole Chicken Melt
Preheat oven broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken breasts for about 10 minutes per side until no longer pink on the inside and golden brown on the outside, sprinkling each side with Creole seasoning.
Scoop the avocados into a bowl, and mash them with the lime juice, tomato, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of guacamole onto each chicken breast, top with a slice of pepper jack cheese, and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Guacamole Chicken Melt Reviews
This was so easy and so delicious I loved it, my family loved it I didnt know what to think about putting guacamole on top of chicken, but then couldnt believe the wonderful flavor it added. I will be making this again and again
With a slight modification I made chicken guacamole muffins that are AMAZING I poached and shredded 3 split chicken breasts instead of pan-frying. I then scooped the chicken into a lightly greased muffin tin, covering with guac mix + cheese and broiled for 3 min. I havent tried yet, but suspect this will also make amazing chicken nachos. Overall this significantly reduces calories by removing butter + olive oil (340 cal) and increasing the portion yield to 6. Enjoy
This was easy to prepare and turned out great. Hubby thought it was very tasty. I reduced the butter and oil which worked out fine.Otherwise, I made no changes to the recipe.
I try to avoid butter and frying, so I marinated the chicken breasts in olive oil and fresh garlic for a couple of hours and then grilled them on the BBQ. Sansel Red Garlic from Epicure is a great addition to the guacamole instead of just garlic powder. (Most stores have a similar version if you dont have Epicure.) I left the guacamole chunky. Did everything else as indicated. Turned out picture perfect and delicious.
This was very good, my husband loved it. I used store bought guacamole and it was just as good
Pretty good. The quality of the guacamole matters to this dish I made my own guacamole and substituted the pepper jack cheese to a "Mexican" blend shredded cheese.
Very yummy. Cut chicken into strips after it as cooked and put in a flour tortilla with refried beans..
This was an excellent recipe. I made this exactly as the recipe stated and wouldnt change a thing My daughter doesnt like pepperjack cheese, so I melted hers with provolone and it was excellent that way too. We had a little guac. left over and it was great with chips. Very simple to make and a different way to prepare chicken. We thoroughly enjoyed this
I grilled these rather than pan frying & used monterey jack on mine(pepperjack on hubbys). We loved it & will def make again
This was delicious I made a few changes: I sprinkled the chicken with taco seasoning and baked it at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. I then topped it with the guacamole (I added some jalapeno juice to this mixture) and baked it for 7 more minutes. I loved it
This was delicious I was able to reduce the calories down to 300 a serving by taking the 3 chicken breasts, I had, and cutting them in half and flattening them slightly with a knife. The smaller size helps them cook quicker anyhow, 5 minutes saut per side. I also used a half slice of cheese on each, since they were a little smaller. For the creole seasoning, I used a recipe on Allrecipes which I made 1 serving of just for this. Clean-up was easy too. I lined a large baking sheet with foil and sprayed with PAM. Took only about 2 minutes to broil. Quick, tasty, and easy. Ty, will make again.**Note - This does not re-heat well with the avocado on top. It is best fresh. So, I would just make enough for dinner or keep the avocado separate for lunches**
I will make this again but next time I will follow what others suggested and bake it in the oven instead of pan frying.The taste was a welcome change and I loved it with the pepperjack cheese. For the kids I used chedder because it was what I had on hand but next time I will probably use provolone. I made my guacamole simple with just avacados, garlic salt and pepper.
Very very skeptical....but We all loved it, including my 3 year old
So yummy. Sounds like a strange combination but so good.
This was great I did use prepared salsa(with added garlic powder) mixed with the avacado because it was easier. Definately a winner, thanks for sharing
I found this recipe by entering the ingredients in the search function. I cant cook with salt or butter, so I boiled the chicken breasts until done, sliced them in half long-wise, seasoned with some garlic powder and broiled with the guacamole and very thin-sliced pepperjack strips. I served with roasted, fresh beets (recipe also from this site) and it made a really tasty and pretty plate I will definitely make this again.
LOVED IT It was awesome Thanks for the great recipe
I really enjoyed this recipe. It was quick and easy, and the chicken looked fantastic when it was done. I added a shot of chipotle Tabasco sauce to each chicken breast before spooning the guacamole on.
Made this for my lunch so i changed the cooking directions just a little bit. i used leftover chicken from another recipe from this site. i made the guacamole per the recipe but added the creole seasoning to it. i placed the chicken in a container and topped it with the guacamole and topped that with sliced cheese. i microwaved this until heated through and put it on some bread. great lunch
Unexpected flavor combinations, but turned out really good. We also had some leftover quac, which was delish with tortilla chips. The cajun seasoning added flavor, but not much heat. If we make again, Id add more spice.
I didnt like this much but Ill give it 4 stars in case it was my fault....it was possibly because I left the cheese off (have a cheese hater in the house)? In any case I love guacamole but wasnt too keen on this.
Was a huge hit and made exactly as written Oldest would love to know if we can have like 5 times a week
My family really liked this dish. I did use grated cheddar and only olive oil. I also used Toy Chacheres seasoning, so the dish was very salty.
This was delicious Will definitely keep this recipe. My husband took one bite and said "thus is a keeper". I too used store prepared guacamole with salsa. Thanks for the recipe.
Instead of making full on guacamole I cut the avacodo into small peices mixed it in a bowl with onion and seasonings, put sliced chicken and avacodo mis on a sub roll topped with pepper jack cheese and broiled until the cheese melted and bread toasted.
The whole family loved this one
Quick and easy, I used spray oil and covered the chicken after browning on both sides. Kept it moist and reduced the need for more oil/butter.
I baked the chicken breasts (cut 2 large breasts into 4 thinner pieces) at 350 for 30 minutes. I topped each piece with guacamole and mexican cheese then broiled it until the cheese melted. I served it with black beans, corn, and salsa. Yummy
This was okay but not something I will ever make again. I really felt it didnt have much flavor and the tastes just didnt mesh. Im giving it 3 stars because my boyfriend liked it and it was pretty simple. Thanks for the recipe anyways.
This dish was great and relatively easy to make I followed the recipe and didnt make any changes. But I would suggest to closely watch the chicken to be sure it gets cooked thoroughly. I used thinner cut chicken breasts which worked well. Also, monitor the chicken under the broiler to be sure the cheese does not melt too much. Good dish for avocado lovers
I thought this sounded VERY strange, but I had chicken and avocados to use up so I made it So glad I did. So easy and very tasty. I served it on a bed of Mexican rice that was left over from last nights taco dinner. Added a garnish of chopped black olives and green onions and finished with a dollop of sour cream. YUM
This was great i took it to work and everybody loved it...
Was really good Made as directed. Very easy to make. Great flavor.
Easy and delicious I left out the butter, but other than that made it the same. The lime juice gives it a nice kick. My boyfriend said it was outstanding.
Great recipe,easy
Excellent recipe Very easy to make, just take your time cooking the chicken so you dont burn the skin. A little Chipotle seasoning adds a nice touch...
This chicken is awesome im notorious for making bad chicken but i made this and my hubby had 3 pieces yum
This was a very good recipe Easy to prepare and very good Will definitely be a repeater
Very tasty when doubled and paired with Spanish rice. Added cilantro, real garlic with more lime juice which added nice kick.
Absolutely Delicious My husband is a picky eater and thought he wouldnt like it, but he actually likes it alot Totally making it again
This was just OK for me. My son the guacamole freak loved it. Just lacked something to me texture and more flavor, maybe.
Great taste combination Very easy to make. I used Wholly Guacamole-Pico De Gallo Style...my favorite, which made it even easier to put together in a hurry. I will definitely make this again
This as easy and very good. I was making it for someone who likes spicy food so it was easily modified to make spicier by having half the chicken with additional peppers. I will make it again, I have recommended it to friends.
I made this as the recipe stated except I grilled my chicken on the BBQ. It sounds a bit strange on paper but tasted fantastic, both me and my hubby loved how fresh tasting the guacamole was. Will definitely make this again
This was delicious Just made it tonight, but didnt have any creole seasoning or pepper jack cheese, so used southwest chipotle seasoning and monterey jack cheese...still tasted awesome My husband really liked it and told me to make it again sometime soon. :) In my recipe box now.
Delicious and very easy
This was really yummy I didnt have a few of the ingredients on hand, such as the Creole-type seasoning. I just cooked the chicken in olive oil and sprinkled some sea salt on it. I really liked how the guacamole adds a creamy texture to the meal I also didnt have any cheese and ate it with out, and it was still very tasty. A great quick meal.
This was delicious I did not have pepper jack cheese so used cheddar and it was lovely I will def. make this one again.
This recipe tasted very good to us. Thank you for making it available.
I rarely review recipes even though Allrecipes is my go to stash. However I have to with this one. I didnt change a thing except shredded pepper jack. My husband absolutely raved about it, stating that this is the best recipe I have ever found It was easy and tasty, especially if you like things a little spicy.
I was easy to make and also delicious.
With the size of some chicken breast now, are the breast used in the recipe more like 6 ounces each? They look small in comparison to some I have seen. If all I can find are the huge breast, what would be the preferred method for cutting....either in half vertical or horizontal? Thanks for the recipe, cant wait to try it. By the way...the stars were not a choice, but Im pretty sure I will love it ;)
Followed the recipe and loved it. My mother-in-law was impressed.
I followed directions as stated. Its a very simple recipe, but very very good
The chicken breast was so large I butterflied them and stuffed them with the guacamole and covered it with pepperjack cheese. This was so good and super easy to make that I will make this dish again. Thank you allrecipes
I made this dish for my family of 8 and it was a hit. Youve got to give recipe a try you wont regret it. yum
2nd time I made it
Love this. My husband asks for t weekly
We loved these got sliced pepperjack from the deli
Love this one. The only thing I did differently is marinated the chicken in balsamic vinegarette for extra flavor and I used thin cutlets as opposed to breasts. Very flavorful
Guacamole could have used minced garlic. Chicken needed a bit more seasoning. Presentation was very pretty.
This was easy to prepare, a healthy snack or side dish and it tastes great. Make sure your avacado shell is not soft or the product will not hold up.
SO SO GOOD.I left out the tomato and added jalepenos . Will make again
I wasnt too sure about hot guac so I reversed it and melted Muenster cheese on my chicken and guac on top Paired it with an almond mango salad and detox water with cucumber and lemon It was delicious
Outstanding Super easy We used one garlic clove in Lieu of the garlic powder and it was exceptional. Did not have pepper jack cheese so used shredded Mexican cheese. Would not change a thing Will definitely make this again
Made a few changes...used provolone cheese, white onion vs. red and didnt use the butter to keep the fat down a little. Still turned out amazing The two avocados make a lot of guac...always good to have extra, but if want to cut fat down more...could use 1-1/2. I will definitely make this again.
Delicious concept, I didnt follow the recipe exactly. Basically used the idea, made the chicken and melted the cheese in the air fryer. Cooked the bacon in the oven and left the guacamole to put on last before serving because I didnt want it hot.
Incredibly easy and delicious. A new family fav
This was delicious and rich We grilled the chicken, adding the cheese after turning the breasts. So the guacamole went on top.
This was really good. cooked as directed and made them into chicken sandwiches using bollio rolls. my picky teenager loved them. definitely going into rotation
We found it very plain.
Thanks for sharing, this was really good
I have made this a couple of times. This combination is delicious. I have tried different cheese and found mozzarella to go really good with it.
This was soooo good This dish is only as good as your guacamole. I prefer my gauc with sour cream and cream cheese. I used the recipe from this site "Easy Never Forgotten Guacamole", but added lime juice, chopped onions, cumin, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, substituted white pepper for black. The salsa in the guacamole came from this site, "The Best Fresh Tomato Salsa", just add minced garlic. Put your salsa in the fridge for 4 hours to let the flavors marry. Then add it to the guacamole. Yum I will definitely be making this again.
Great recipe, I used shredded Mexican blend cheese because I had no pepper jack. I drizzled some Sriracha over the cheese to give it a little kick before I put it in the oven. I also put some sour cream on top before serving. Fantastic
Loved this, did not make any changes - simple and delicious Made a sandwich with it the next day
This is an amazing dish that is not only delicious, but so easy and quick to make. I serve it with a nutty barley bake...so healthy I made my own guacamole a few hours earlier. The chicken is so moist
Amazing recipe. Perfect for a summer time dinner.
Substituted my own guac recipe and grilled the chicken on the Weber, but this was really great First time I made it and was asked if Id made it before because it was so good. It was requested to be made again
This dish is so simple and quick yet so delicious I made it exactly as written and my husband and I both loved it This recipe is a keeper. I will definitely make it again
I didnt use butter, I used coconut oil to cook the chicken in, instead of Creole seasoning I used a garlic jalapeno sea salt mix and I had some Pico de Gallo that had to be eaten so I mixed that with the avocado. Will definitely make again.
Love this recipe Delicious
My husband and I thought this was really good. My kids did not like it though. Not surprisingly not good leftover (because of the guacamole).
I substituted a Mexican blend for the Cajun.
We really liked the cheese and guacamole, but the chicken was kind of bland. The meat was moist and tender, but I wont follow these directions for cooking chicken in the future. Ill just add cheese and guacamole to more flavorful meat.
I used chicken thighs instead and browned them in the IP on saute mode then pressure cooked them. Finished them in the toaster oven under the broiler. The wife who is on a low carb diet just went nuts over them. This will be added to my favorites.
Made recipe as directed. It was better then I expected, I would make make again
What a perfect combination of flavors I will make this often
My family really liked it. The only think they didnt like was that I used chicken quarters with bones instead of chicken breasts because thats what we had in the fridge and it was kind of messy. The recipe does call for breasts anyway. I also used hot pico de gallo instead of cutting tomato and a little bit of red onion. It was good. My mom would like me to make it again (using breasts) and serve it on lettuce like a salad.
Forgot the creole seasoning but this was still wonderful.
Made it two nights in a row because it was so delicious Obviously a definite do-over
I made this for the first time tonight in a cast iron skillet and was able to take it from stove top to broiler. I had no tomato and used chunky medium salsa instead. I also only had dried cilantro and used Cajun seasoning to taste. It was delicious My husband said, on a scale of 1-5, hed give it a 9.5. Will definitely make it again and sharing it.
Made this for a potluck and it was a hit. Will make this again.
I didnt use butter, I used coconut oil to cook the chicken in, instead of Creole seasoning I used a garlic jalapeno sea salt mix and I had some Pico de Gallo that had to be eaten so I mixed that with the avocado. Will definitely make again.
I had leftover Guacamole (from AR) this was outstanding m
This is a great quick & easy week night meal. My whole family likes it- even the kid who doesnt like avocados. I made it even simpler by using pre-made guacamole from the grocery store.
Yum My family will be fighting over who gets the left over chicken breast for breakfast tomorrow
Very good I grilled the chicken instead of pan fry.
I made it tonight, 5 stars. excellent flavor, easy to make and healthy. rave reviews
