Moni’s Chicken Avocado Toast

MONI’S CHICKEN AVO TOAST!! I know what you’re thinking – how cliché California. “What a shock – this girl lives in LA and is blogging about avocado toast.” LOL

Before you think your petty thoughts – I’d like to point out that I began making this recipe when I still lived in New York City thank you very much ☝️. Back where the avocados cost $4 each – YIKES – don’t miss those days. 

My Chicken Avo Toast has SUCH a special place in my heart and has been a long-standing tradition in our household. Each week (typically on Wednesdays to celebrate getting through a majority of the week) after a long day of work, Brendan and I turn on our favorite music, whip up our spin on avocado toast together, and sit down to catch up over one of our favorite meals.

The crazy thing is that, even though we have we make this dish just about every week, I still find myself looking forward to it every time it is on the menu! After a long day of phone calls, it feels like a much deserved end to my day. Apart from being utterly delicious, my Chicken Avo Toast is super filling and there’s really no cooking involved! It’s basically a glorified sandwich!  Who doesn’t need a break from slaving over the stove? 

I know that most people think breakfast when they think avocado toast. But, once you try this recipe for Moni’s Chicken Avo Toast, I wouldn’t be surprised this dish becomes a staple of your weeknight dinners too. null

Picking perfect avocados for avocado toast– CRUCIAL 

There is an undeniable art to choosing the perfect avocados. Fortunately for you all, we have this down to a science. 

First, ask yourself when you are planning on making my Chicken Avo Toast. I go grocery shopping on Sundays and make avocado toast on Wednesdays, typically. For this reason, I try to get avocados that are mostly green and starting to turn black. If you are planning to make my Chicken Avo Toast on the same day that you are grocery shopping, however, you will want more ripe avocados (typically black with a little bit of give when you lightly squeeze them.) 

Next, check to make sure there is no bruising. When you are buying avocados to use in a few days, in addition to being green, you want there to be a little bit of give when you squeeze the avocado. If you are buying ripe avocados, there should be a little bit more give, but they should NOT be squishy. If they are squishy, the inside will most likely be brown and bruised or overripe – no bueno. 

AVO HACK: no matter when you plan on making avo toast, PEEL OFF THE STEM BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN YOUR CART.(see photo below). For more on this, check out this link!

This should be green – if it looks dark brown or whiteish/furry (ew) it’s already going bad. DO NOT BUY THAT ONE. 

Egg or no egg on Moni’s Chicken Avocado Toast– THAT IS THE QUESTIONnull

Although we are equally obsessed with this recipe for Chicken Avo Toast Brendan’s and my preferences vary slightly in regards to one major component – the addition of an over – easy egg. Brendan swears by it – he says that it makes the whole recipe. I vehemently disagree. 

Moral of the story – try my Chicken Avo Toast both ways. Totally you’re call. The over-easy egg adds extra protein. And an extra dose of food porn. For the sake of the food porn, we made it with the yolk for your viewing (#content). If you don’t want the egg – wait for it –  SKIP THAT STEP!

You really can’t mess this recipe up. My Chicken Avo Toast it is one of our FAVORITES and I have been DYING TO SHARE THIS RECIPE WITH YOU! If you make my Chicken Avo Toast, make sure to take a photo or video of that cheesy goodnees or yolk porn and throw it on insta with the hashtag #madebymoni
