Ingredients
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons
- Whole grain or sourdough bread
- 2 slices

- Avocado
- 1, ripe

- 1, boneless and skinless (about 6 oz)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breast generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to create a creamy spread.
- Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
- Spread mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice for added creaminess.
- On one slice of bread, generously spread the mashed avocado mixture.
- Layer the sliced chicken, followed by the lettuce, tomato, and red onion on top of the avocado spread.
- Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, and press gently to hold the sandwich together.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to prepare an additional sandwich.
- Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the sandwich.
- Feel free to substitute grilled chicken with shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- This sandwich pairs beautifully with a side of sweet potato fries or a refreshing cucumber salad.
