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
- Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble the sandwich: Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place the slices onto the bottom halves of the buns.
- Add toppings: Layer avocado slices, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices over the chicken for fresh texture and flavor.
- 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.
