Ingredients
  • 2 English muffins
  • 1/2 cup Cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 1/4 Avocado (mashed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lime juice
  • pinch Salt
  • 6 Black olives (sliced)
  • 4 Red bell pepper (small pieces)

Prepare the Chicken & Avocado Mix

In a small bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mashed avocado, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread the chicken and avocado mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the English muffins.

Create the Turtle Shell

Place the top halves of the English muffins over the chicken mixture. These will be the turtle's shell.

Add Legs

Use sliced black olives to create the turtle's legs. Place three olive slices on each side of the muffin to resemble legs.

Make the Head

Use another olive slice for the head, attaching it to the front of the muffin with a tiny bit of the chicken and avocado mix. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Add the Tail

Use a small piece of red bell pepper for the tail, attaching it to the back of the muffin in the same way as the head.

Serve immediately and enjoy these fun and healthy turtle sandwiches!
