Avocado Chicken Melt image

Found in a Tyson Chicken recipe book and changed it somewhat to suit our tastes. TIP: You can sprinkle chicken with sliced green onions and serve with sliced cucumber, if desired. Add sliced green onion tops to the yogurt and red bell pepper sauce or substitute onion-flavored ranch or cucumber salad dressing for the sauce.
