Grilled Chicken and Avocado Sandwich
Ingredients:
For the Grilled Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sandwich:
4 slices of whole-grain bread (or your preferred bread)
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups mixed greens (such as spinach or arugula)
4 tablespoons Greek yogurt or low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions:
For the Grilled Chicken:
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the chicken breasts with the marinade on both sides.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
For Assembling the Sandwich:
Toast the slices of bread lightly if desired.
Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt or low-fat mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. You can also add Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
Place the sliced avocado on one slice of bread.
Layer the grilled chicken on top of the avocado.
Add the sliced tomato, red onion, and mixed greens.
Top with another slice of bread, mayo-side down.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally, and it’s ready to serve.
