Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (8 ounces) Skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 2 pieces Whole wheat sandwich buns
- 2 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 1 small Tomato, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken breast.
Drizzle olive oil over the spiced chicken breast to lightly coat it.
Place the chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken rests, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and add lemon juice to prevent browning.
Toast the whole wheat buns lightly on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
To assemble the sandwich, spread half of the mashed avocado on each bun bottom.
Top with a slice of fresh tomato, lettuce leaf, and basil leaves.
Add the sliced chicken breast, then place the top bun on each sandwich.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low sodium meal!
