Chicken and Avocado Sandwich
Ingredients
Step by step process
Grilled Chicken
- 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry and slice them lengthwise into thin cutlets for this avocado sandwich. Brush them generously with olive oil mixed with crushed garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until fully cooked through inside and lightly golden on the surface.
- 3
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for about 3 minutes. Then slice it diagonally so it is easier to layer evenly into the sandwich.
Avocado Layer
- 4
Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with Greek yogurt and the juice of half to one whole lemon until you get a coarse but spreadable mixture.
- 5
Season the avocado mixture lightly with salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick enough to stay in place on the toasted bread without running off the sides.
Assembly
- 6
Toast the sandwich bread slices until golden. Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds. Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel so they do not make the bread soggy.
- 7
Spread the avocado layer generously over four slices of bread. Divide the romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and grilled chicken evenly on top, making sure each sandwich gets an equal share.
- 8
Cover with the remaining bread slices and press each sandwich lightly. Serve immediately while the bread is still crisp and the chicken is warm. Cut in half for easier serving if you like.
More tips:
If you are packing the sandwiches to go, spread the avocado layer on the bread just before leaving so it stays crisp.
Always let the chicken breasts rest briefly after cooking, because they will stay noticeably juicier in the sandwich.
