Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Butterfly the chicken breast by slicing it in half horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken pieces.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice and mash with a fork until smooth.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with garlic powder. Set aside.
Toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden brown.
Spread the garlic mayo on two slices of toasted bread. On the other two slices, generously spread the mashed avocado mixture.
Place two lettuce leaves on top of the avocado spread on each sandwich.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips and divide them between the two sandwiches, placing them on top of the lettuce.
Layer the tomato slices over the chicken.
Complete the sandwich by placing the other two slices of bread, garlic mayo side down, on top.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
