Ingredients

Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and grill them for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Remove them from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey mustard, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice to create a zesty sandwich spread.
Step 5
Toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a hot pan until golden and lightly crisped.
Step 6
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of the zesty dressing on one side of each bread slice.
Step 7
Layer the bottom bread slices with lettuce leaves, grilled chicken slices, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and avocado slices.
Step 8
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slice and gently press down to secure.
Step 9
Slice the sandwiches in half for easy serving and enjoy!
