Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 each large tomatoes
- 4 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 each ripe avocado
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced
- 0.5 each red onion
- 4 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 each lemon
Instructions
Slice the tomatoes into thick slices, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
Peel and pit the avocado, then mash it in a small bowl with a fork. Add olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix until smooth to create an avocado spread.
Thinly slice the red onion.
To assemble each sandwich, lay a lettuce leaf flat. Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture onto the leaf.
Layer the tomato slices on top of the avocado spread. Use about three slices per lettuce leaf, depending on the size of the tomato.
Add a layer of sliced cooked chicken breast on top of the tomatoes.
Layer a few slices of red onion and a couple of fresh basil leaves on top of the chicken.
Top with another lettuce leaf. Secure the sandwich with a toothpick if necessary or simply fold the lettuce leaves over the filling to make an easy, handheld wrap.
Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-friendly classic tomato sandwich.
