Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 slice low sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 leaf lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- 0.5 sliced avocado
Directions
Step 1
Begin by flattening the chicken breast to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This ensures it cooks evenly.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
Brush the chicken breast with the olive oil mixture on both sides, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
Step 6
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Layer the grilled chicken breast, low sodium cheddar cheese slice, lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and avocado slices on top of the bread in the skillet.
Step 8
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Step 9
Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 10
Carefully remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut it in half, and serve immediately.
