Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf whole-grain baguette
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Grill chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and toast it lightly on the grill or in the oven for extra crunch.
Slice the tomato and avocado.
In a medium bowl, toss the salad greens with lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper.
Once the chicken is cooked, allow it to rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
To assemble the baguette, layer the bottom half with avocado slices, grilled chicken, tomato slices, and salad greens.
Top with the other half of the baguette, slice into portions, and serve immediately.
