Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 piece Ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Whole grain sandwich bread slices
- 1 piece Tomato
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breast in the skillet. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
While the chicken rests, in a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on two slices of bread.
Layer the lettuce leaves on one slice of the prepared bread, followed by a few pieces of sliced tomato.
Add half of the sliced chicken on top followed by half of the mashed avocado mixture.
Top with the second slice of bread mayonnaise side down.
Repeat steps 6 to 9 for the second sandwich.
Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its freshest.
