- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (like brioche or challah)
- Lettuce leaves for a fresh crunch
- Sliced tomatoes for added freshness
- Avocado, sliced or mashed for creamy texture
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Pickles, thinly sliced for tanginess
#### **Preparation Steps:**
1. **Prepare the Chicken:**
- Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. **Cooking the Chicken:**
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
3. **Assemble the Sandwich:**
- Toast bread slices lightly to enhance flavor.
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one slice of each bread, ensuring an even layer across both sides.
4. **Layering the Ingredients:**
- Begin with a lettuce leaf on the base piece of bread.
- Add sliced tomatoes for a burst of freshness.
- Place chicken slices over the tomatoes, followed by slices of avocado or mashed avocado for creamy texture.
- Add thinly sliced pickles and season to taste.
5. **Final Assembly:**
- Top with another slice of toasted bread to complete your sandwich.
- Press gently on the top piece to hold everything together without compromising flavor.
#### **Tips & Variations:**
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider marinating chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- Use different types of bread such as whole-grain for a healthier option or try using buns for a more classic sandwich look.
- Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist or add some grated cheese on top for a richer taste.
