Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the vegan chicken strips to the pan and sauté for 4-5 minutes until heated through and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then mash with a fork until smooth.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread to your preference.
Spread vegan mayonnaise on one side of each piece of toasted bread.
On the bottom slice of each sandwich, layer two lettuce leaves, half of the vegan chicken strips, and slices of tomatoes.
Spread a layer of the mashed avocado on the top slice of the bread.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the avocado-spread slice on top of the filled slice.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
