Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
- 2 avocados (sliced)
- 8 slices bread (toasted)
Instructions
- Season and cook chicken; slice. Season breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Sear in a hot pan until golden and cooked through, then rest for five minutes and slice thin against the grain.
- Prepare avocado and sauce. Halve, pit, and slice avocados before serving to avoid browning. Whisk a quick sauce from mayonnaise or yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Toast bread and assemble sandwich. Lightly butter or oil and toast until just crisp. Layer sliced chicken, avocado, and a drizzle of sauce; finish with fresh herbs or cracked pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature chicken to ensure even cooking. Slice the avocado last and store sauce separately if preparing components in advance.
