One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Brush chicken breasts with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F; remove and let rest 5 minutes.
- Lightly brush bread slices with remaining olive oil and toast on the grill until golden, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Spread mayonnaise evenly on toasted bread slices.
- Slice rested chicken thinly.
- Assemble sandwiches by layering lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado, and tomato on four bread slices; top with remaining bread slices.
- Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
A little kitchen know-how
Let grilled chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing to retain juiciness.
Storage & leftovers
Wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day; best eaten fresh to avoid soggy bread.
