Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
- 1 medium (about 6 oz) skinless boneless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan on medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.
While the chicken is grilling, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with 0.25 teaspoon of salt, lemon juice, and non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden brown.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the avocado mixture evenly on two slices of the toasted bread.
Layer the baby spinach leaves, sliced grilled chicken, and tomato slices on top of the avocado spread.
Place a slice of turkey bacon on each sandwich.
Top with the remaining bread slices to complete the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich diagonally into halves and serve immediately.
