Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 slices Gluten-free sandwich bread
• 2 pieces Ripe avocados
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with a touch of olive oil.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Toast the gluten-free bread slices lightly if desired.

Step 8

Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Then, layer lettuce, sliced tomato, avocado mash, sliced grilled chicken, red onion, and chopped cilantro evenly on two of the bread slices.

Step 9

Top with the remaining bread slices, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
