Ingredients

• 1 large chicken breast
• 1 medium avocado
• 4 slices whole grain bread
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 medium tomato
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with the teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the chicken breast on the hot pan and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and fresh cilantro until well combined. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

Step 5

Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 6

To assemble the sandwich, spread the avocado mixture evenly over two slices of whole grain bread.

Step 7

Layer sliced grilled chicken, tomato slices, and lettuce on top of the avocado spread.

Step 8

Complete the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, pressing down gently.

Step 9

Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
