Instructions
Creating the Savory Chicken Sandwich is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prep Chicken: Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
2. Season: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
3. Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
4. Toast Bread: While the chicken is cooking, you can toast the bread slices in another skillet or a toaster until golden brown.
5. Cheese Melting: In the last minute of cooking the chicken, place a slice of cheese on each breast to melt.
6. Assemble Sandwich: On a slice of toasted bread, layer lettuce, the cooked chicken with melted cheese, tomato slices, and avocado. Add your desired condiments on top.
7. Top Off: Place the second slice of bread over the toppings, pressing down gently.
8. Cut and Serve: Slice the sandwich in half to showcase the layers and serve it on a plate.
