Ingredients

• 1 piece (around 150g) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
• 1 medium, sliced Tomato
• 2 Lettuce leaves
• 2 Whole-grain sandwich rolls
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the chicken breast to the boiling water, reduce the heat to a simmer, and poach for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.

Step 4

Add lemon juice, Greek yogurt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed avocado, and mix until combined.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken to the avocado mixture, and stir until the chicken is fully coated.

Step 7

Slice the whole-grain sandwich rolls in half. Layer the bottom halves with lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, and red onion.

Step 8

Spoon the chicken and avocado mixture onto each prepared roll base, spreading evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the chicken mixture for added flavor.

Step 10

Place the top half of each roll over the fillings, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
