Total time: 27 min
Yield: 4 portions
Ingredients: 150 g chicken breast; 0.5 tablespoon olive oil; 0.25 clove garlic; 0.25 teaspoon sweet paprika; salt; black pepper; 0.5 pcs avocado; 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt; 0.25 pcs lemon; salt; 2 slices toast bread; 0.5 pcs tomatoes; 0.25 head romaine lettuce

Step by step process

Grilled Chicken

1
Pat the chicken breasts dry, slice them lengthwise into thinner cutlets, and brush them with olive oil mixed with crushed garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through and lightly golden on the surface.
TIP:
Cook the chicken breast in a thin layer of fat on a properly preheated pan, and avoid moving it unnecessarily so it can sear and form a crust. After turning it over, just finish cooking it through, then let it rest for a few minutes at the end.
3
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board, let it rest briefly, then slice it diagonally so it is easier to layer into the sandwich.

Avocado Layer

4
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and mash the flesh in a bowl with Greek yogurt and the juice of half to one whole lemon into a coarse but spreadable mixture.
TIP:
Lemon juice in an avocado mixture enhances the flavor while also slowing browning. Add it a little at a time and mix only briefly so the mixture stays fresh, creamy, and does not become unnecessarily runny.
5
Lightly season the avocado mixture with salt and stir until it stays fresh, creamy, and does not run off the toasted bread.

Assembly

6
Toast the sandwich bread slices until golden, slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, and rinse and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce leaves.
7
Spread the avocado layer over four slices of bread, then divide the romaine lettuce, tomato, and grilled chicken slices evenly on top.
8
Cover with the remaining bread slices, press each sandwich lightly, and serve immediately, or cut in half for easier serving.
