Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sandwich
- 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 with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor during cooking.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked.
- Prepare the spread: While the chicken is cooking, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside to use as a flavorful sandwich spread.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the sandwich rolls on a separate pan or toaster until they are warm and slightly crisp. Spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on both the top and bottom halves of each bun.
- Assemble the sandwich: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a minute before slicing it thinly. Layer the sliced chicken on the bottom half of each bun.
- Add toppings: Top the chicken with the avocado slices, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices, creating a fresh and creamy combination.
- Serve: Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute Dijon mustard with yellow mustard for a milder flavor.
- For extra crunch, add thinly sliced red onions or pickles.
- To make it healthier, use whole grain buns and light mayonnaise.
- Ensure chicken is cooked through to avoid any food safety risks.
- Avocado can be mashed with a little lemon juice to prevent browning and add zest.
