Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sandwich Toppings
- 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: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.
- Prepare the spread: While the chicken is cooking, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl, mixing well to create a tangy sandwich spread.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the sandwich rolls or buns to add a slight crispness, then spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on both halves of each bun.
- Assemble the chicken: Once cooked, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them evenly on the bottom half of each prepared bun.
- Add fresh toppings: Top the chicken slices with avocado slices, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices for fresh flavor and texture.
- Serve the sandwich: Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun and serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the buns are still crisp.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños to the sandwich.
- Use whole grain or gluten-free buns to adapt for dietary preferences.
- Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Avocado can brown quickly, so slice it just before assembling the sandwich.
- This sandwich pairs well with a side salad or sweet potato fries for a fuller meal.
