Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons Chipotle chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 pieces Whole grain sandwich buns
• 0.5 piece Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Lime juice (fresh)
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 piece Tomato (sliced)
• 0.25 piece Red onion (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for spread)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a spice rub.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, mash the avocado in a small bowl with the lime juice and a pinch of salt. This will serve as a creamy spread.

Step 6

Toast the whole grain sandwich buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and warm.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the mashed avocado onto the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice or two of tomato, grilled chicken breast, some red onion slices, and an optional dollop of plain Greek yogurt for added creaminess.

Step 8

Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-fat chipotle grilled chicken avocado sandwich!
