Rotisserie Chicken Avocado & Basil Open Faced Breakfast Melt

4 slices of Hillshire Farms Rotisserie Chicken

1 sliced Maine's Backyard Tomato

1 sliced Avocado

4 Fresh Infinite Basil Leaves

2 slices of Narragansett Creamery Fresh Mozzarella

1 Munroe Dairy English Muffin Split

Optional 2 Munroe Dairy All Natural Eggs (hard boiled, poached, or fried)

To make the Sandwich first by toasting the English Muffin and then layering the ingredients on top. Start with the sliced avocado, the oils in the avocado will take the place of any butter to moisten the English Muffin, next add the two pieces of basil per muffin followed by two slices of the Hillshire Farm Rotisserie Chicken, finish off the sandwich with one slice of tomato each topped with one slice of fresh mozzarella.

Place both side face up under the broiler on a lined cookie sheet for 3- 4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

If you want to add an egg for more protein, layer the egg over the tomato and under the cheese.

Linny's Tip - Cooking and Storing Potatoes

Potatoes should be kept in a cool, dark place with good ventilation. The ideal storage temperature is 45 to 50ºF. At these temperatures, potatoes will keep for several
weeks. But don't store potatoes in the refrigerator! When kept below 40ºF, potatoes develop a sweet taste, due to the conversion of starch to sugar. This increased sugar causes potatoes to darken when cooked. If you store potatoes at room temperature, try to use them within a week or so.

Keep potatoes away from prolonged exposure to light, which causes them to turn green. This greening causes a bitter flavor. If potatoes develop green areas or start to sprout, just trim off these areas before using.

Always add potatoes to cold water to boil. This ensures that potatoes will cook evenly throughout.

Linny's Tip: Tomatoes

Did you know tomatoes are second in consumption to potatoes!

However, there is one important thing everyone should know about tomatoes and that is how to store them. Tomatoes do not like the cold at all. In fact when you keep them in the refrigerator they will become mealy and loose their robust flavor.

Instead store them in a cool dark place with their stem side down for ripe tomatoes. For those tomatoes that a not quite ripe leave them on a sunny window sill and soon they will turn bright red and juicy ready to honor any salad or BLT!
