Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large baguette
- 2 pieces (about 8 oz each) chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 large avocado
- 0.5 cup, crumbled feta cheese
- 5 pieces fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
While the pan is heating, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into thin strips.
Meanwhile, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and lightly toast them in the same pan for about 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the tomato and red onion thinly, and mash the avocado with a fork.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and mustard together to form a spread.
To assemble the baguette, spread the avocado on the bottom half, then add a layer of lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, sliced grilled chicken, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh basil leaves.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the top half of the baguette and place it over the filled side.
Slice the baguette into four equal portions and serve immediately.
