Ingredients

• 1 piece skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 2 slices whole-grain sandwich bread
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 small tomato
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preheating a grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and salt together.

Step 3

Brush this mixture over the chicken breast, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the chicken breast on the preheated grill pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork.

Step 6

Add the lime juice to the mashed avocado, and mix well to combine.

Step 7

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 8

Toast the whole-grain bread slices if desired.

Step 9

Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on one slice of bread.

Step 10

Top with sliced grilled chicken, fresh spinach leaves, and thin slices of tomato.

Step 11

Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.

Step 12

Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, enjoying a heart-healthy and delicious meal.
