Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Grilled Chicken Sandwich featuring avocado and a spicy chipotle mayo.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 sandwich rolls (ciabatta or brioche)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup lettuce (romaine or spinach)
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and place them on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the chicken is resting, prepare the chipotle mayo by mixing mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust the chipotle sauce to your desired spice level.
- Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips.
- Toast the sandwich rolls on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with lettuce, sliced tomato, grilled chicken, and avocado. Top with the other half of the roll.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, consider adding sliced jalapeños or grilled onions to the sandwich.
- Swap the chicken for grilled shrimp or a plant-based protein for a different twist.
