Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Whole grain sandwich buns
- 0.5 piece Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice (fresh)
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato (sliced)
- 0.25 piece Red onion (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for spread)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a spice rub.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, mash the avocado in a small bowl with the lime juice and a pinch of salt. This will serve as a creamy spread.
Toast the whole grain sandwich buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and warm.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the mashed avocado onto the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice or two of tomato, grilled chicken breast, some red onion slices, and an optional dollop of plain Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-fat chipotle grilled chicken avocado sandwich!
