Servings: 2

Ingredients

Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Lemon juice
1 tablespoon
Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons
Whole grain or sourdough bread
2 slices
Red onion
2-3 slices
Tomato
1 medium, sliced
Lettuce
2 leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)
Avocado
1, ripe
Chicken breast
1, boneless and skinless (about 6 oz)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breast generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  3. In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to create a creamy spread.
  4. Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice for added creaminess.
  6. On one slice of bread, generously spread the mashed avocado mixture.
  7. Layer the sliced chicken, followed by the lettuce, tomato, and red onion on top of the avocado spread.
  8. Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, and press gently to hold the sandwich together.
  9. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to prepare an additional sandwich.
  10. Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
