Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 small tomato
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado mash. Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds.
Assemble the sandwich: Place the romaine lettuce leaves on a plate to form the base. Spread the avocado mash evenly over the lettuce.
Top with sliced tomato and cucumber, followed by the grilled chicken strips.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if using. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, Whole30 compliant chicken and avocado open-faced sandwich!
