Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Plant-based chicken strips
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread slices
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
Add the plant-based chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and heated through. Set aside.
While the strips are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder to make a sauce. Spread evenly over two slices of whole-grain bread.
Thinly slice the tomato and red onion.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the two remaining slices of bread.
Layer each sandwich with lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, red onion, and cooked plant-based chicken strips.
Close the sandwiches with the bread slices spread with sauce.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
