Description

A fresh and flavorful Chicken Avocado Sandwich featuring tender pan-seared chicken breasts, creamy avocado, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomato slices, all tucked into toasted sandwich rolls with a zesty mayonnaise and Dijon mustard spread. Perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or light dinner.


Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sandwich Components

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 sandwich rolls or buns
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 tomato, sliced


Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  3. Prepare the spread: While the chicken cooks, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl, mixing thoroughly to create a tangy sandwich spread.
  4. Toast the rolls: Lightly toast the sandwich rolls or buns until warm and slightly crispy, then spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on both halves.
  5. Assemble the sandwich: Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place the slices onto the bottom halves of the buns.
  6. Add toppings: Layer avocado slices, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices over the chicken for fresh texture and flavor.
  7. Serve: Place the top halves of the buns on the sandwiches and serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Chicken breasts can be butterflied for faster cooking if desired.
  • Use ripe avocados for creaminess and best flavor.
  • To add extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the chicken before cooking.
  • Sandwich rolls can be substituted with whole grain buns for a healthier option.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored refrigerated and used within 2 days.
