- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts ((about 8 oz each))
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 medium tomato ((sliced))
- 1/2 small red onion ((thinly sliced))
- 2 cup baby spinach
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- Prep the chicken and grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread
While the chicken is resting, mash the avocado in a small bowl.Add the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble the Sandwich
Spread the avocado mixture evenly on each slice of bread. Layer the sliced chicken, tomato, red onion, and baby spinach on two slices of the bread. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- Grill the Sandwiches
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down slightly, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
