Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Description
Grilled Chicken Sandwich combines well-seasoned chicken breasts with fresh toppings for a flavorful handheld meal. The chicken is coated in olive oil and a carefully measured spice mix including chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Grilling the chicken over medium-high heat locks in moisture while creating a subtle char. The mashed avocado adds a creamy contrast, complemented by slices of provolone cheese and crisp lettuce. Thinly sliced red onion adds a mild pungency, rounding out the sandwich.
This sandwich is assembled on a hamburger bun, making it easy to hold and enjoy. The layering of toppings can be adjusted to taste, with the avocado offering richness and the lettuce providing freshness and crunch. It works well for a quick lunch or casual dinner when you want a protein-packed, flavorful sandwich.
To prepare ahead, the seasoning mix and toppings like the avocado mash and onions can be prepped in advance. Using gluten-free buns is a straightforward adaptation for dietary needs. The sandwich is best served immediately after assembling to keep the bread from becoming soggy.

Instructions
- Chicken seasoning: Mix seasonings together. Lightly coat chicken breast halves in oil and sprinkle seasonings all over both sides of the chicken. Set aside.
- Grill chicken: Heat a clean, greased grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through (160 degrees). Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm. The chicken will continue to cook after it's removed from the grill.
- Prepare burger toppings. Mash the avocado in a bowl and spritz with a little lemon juice, to keep it from browning.
- Assemble: Add grilled chicken to a bottom bun. Top with cheese, mashed avocado and other toppings. Enjoy!
