Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast
- 1 medium avocado
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium tomato
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
Instructions
Begin by heating a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with the teaspoon of olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken breast on the hot pan and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and fresh cilantro until well combined. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the avocado mixture evenly over two slices of whole grain bread.
Layer sliced grilled chicken, tomato slices, and lettuce on top of the avocado spread.
Complete the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, pressing down gently.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
