Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 medium Avocado
- 8 whole Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Pat them dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook each side for about 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, then add lemon juice and a pinch of salt to taste, mixing well.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Assemble the sandwich by laying two large lettuce leaves on a plate. Spread half of the mashed avocado over the lettuce leaves of each sandwich.
Add a few slices of tomato and then the sliced chicken on top of the avocado spread.
Top with two more lettuce leaves to complete the sandwich. Repeat to create the second sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb chicken avocado sandwich.
