One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Grill chicken until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken and let rest 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Spread mayonnaise on toasted bread slices.
- Layer lettuce, tomato, sliced chicken, and avocado on four bread slices.
- Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- Cut in half and serve immediately.
A little kitchen know-how
Allow grilled chicken to rest 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices and prevent dryness.
Storage & leftovers
Wrap sandwiches tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 day; fresh assemble recommended to avoid soggy bread.
