Chicken Avocado Sandwich
Quick, easy, and healthy chicken avocado sandwich!
This chicken avocado sandwich is perfect for a quick and healthy lunch! Layered with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and avocado, this sandwich is a hearty and healthy well-balanced meal complete with protein, fibre, and plenty of healthy fats.
The key to this sandwich is good hearty bread and ensuring the avocado is just right – but isn’t that always the case! I opted for a seedy multigrain bread but sourdough, whole wheat, or sprouted grain bread would all work equally well. If you’re looking to make this sandwich the night before I would recommend adding a small squeeze of lemon or lime to your avocado to ensure that it doesn’t brown too much (if it browns, it will still taste fine but might look a little funky), or wait until the last minute to add your avocado slices. And although I used leftover shredded chicken in my sandwich, you could also use sliced, rotisserie, deli, or grilled chicken if you prefer.
