Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for an Avocado Chicken Sandwich that combines tender chicken with creamy avocado for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (your choice: whole grain, sourdough, or ciabatta)
- 1 medium chicken breast (grilled or cooked)
- 1/2 avocado (ripe)
- 1 slice of cheese (optional, such as mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 slices of tomato
- Lettuce leaves (such as romaine or spinach)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime juice (optional, to prevent avocado browning)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- If using raw chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices (like paprika or garlic powder). Grill or pan-cook the chicken breast until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side) and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.
- Prepare the Avocado:
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add a squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay out the two slices of bread on a clean surface.
- Spread mayonnaise on one slice.
- Layer the sliced chicken on top of the mayonnaise.
- Add the mashed avocado over the chicken.
- Place tomato slices and lettuce on top of the avocado.
- If using cheese, add it now.
- Top with the second slice of bread.
- Serve:
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately. This sandwich can also be wrapped and stored in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
