Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium avocado
• 2 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 small tomato
• 0.5 medium cucumber
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado mash. Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwich: Place the romaine lettuce leaves on a plate to form the base. Spread the avocado mash evenly over the lettuce.

Step 7

Top with sliced tomato and cucumber, followed by the grilled chicken strips.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped cilantro if using. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, Whole30 compliant chicken and avocado open-faced sandwich!
