Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breast

Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the chicken breast in the mixture for at least 10 minutes.
Once the grill is hot, lightly brush it with avocado oil.
Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.9°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Spread Whole30 compliant mayonnaise evenly on half of the almond flour crackers.
Layer the grilled chicken breast on top of the mayonnaise-spread crackers.
Place a slice of Whole30 compliant cheese over the chicken breast.
Add a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato on top of the cheese.
Top with the remaining almond flour crackers to form a sandwich.
Press gently to secure the ingredients in place, and serve immediately.
