Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
Avocado
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lime juice (to prevent browning)
Bread
- 8 slices of bread, toasted (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
Additional
- Optional: mayonnaise, mustard, or your favorite sandwich sauce
- Optional: lettuce, tomato slices, or cheese for extra toppings
Instructions
- Season and Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
- Prepare Avocado: While the chicken cooks, slice the avocados. If desired, toss the slices with a little lime juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
- Toast Bread: Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
- Assemble Sandwich: Lay out the toasted bread slices. If using, spread mayonnaise, mustard, or sauce on each slice. Layer the sliced chicken evenly, then add the sliced avocado on top. Add any additional desired toppings like lettuce or tomato. Top with the second slice of bread and press gently to secure.
- Serve: Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can marinate the chicken breasts before cooking for extra flavor using your favorite spices or sauces.
- To make it a healthier option, choose whole grain bread and add fresh vegetables like spinach, tomato, or cucumber.
- Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and used for quick sandwich assembly.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy texture in the sandwich.
- Customize the sandwich with cheese like Swiss or cheddar for added richness.
