    Grilled Chicken Avocado Sandwich with a lemon kick, a healthy and delicious recipe that makes a great breakfast or a quick working lunch. Ready in about 10 minutes, this sandwich is super quick and easy to make, and a great hit with everyone.

    If you are a fan of sandwiches, this is a recipe for you. It's not just any sandwich, but THE BEST SANDWICH I have ever had. And, trust me, I do eat loads of sandwiches, most of them homemade, although I do buy sometimes as well.

    I don't know about other countries, but in the UK sandwiches are the preferred quick working lunch. The nation is mad about sandwiches of all kind. The better, the most expensive. Such a grilled chicken sandwich with avocado and cheese would probably cost anything from £4 upwards. Insane, isn't it?

    So, why not make it at home? Buy a few avocados, some chicken breasts, some sliced cheese and bread of your choice, and you can make your own sandwiches a few times a week.

    Grilling the chicken is not only quick, but also healthy. With not a single drop of oil or butter, you know that this grilled chicken can only be great, you won't believe how easy it is to eat healthily.

    How to make a chicken and avocado sandwich

    The combo chicken and avocado is one of a kind. Two super healthy and delicious foods in one yummy sandwich. I have tried this combination before in my Grilled Chicken Avocado Wrap and it has been one of my best-performing posts ever since, it went viral on Pinterest and other social media channels.

    So, let's see how it's done:

    • halve the chicken breast, and use a meat tenderizer to flatten the chicken breasts
    • season with salt, paprika, garlic granules, and cayenne chilli peppers
    • heat up a grill pan, and grill the chicken on both sides until cooked
    • mash the avocado, drizzle over the lemon juice, then spread it over a slice of bread
    • place the chicken on top of the avocado, top with the cheese slice, and another slice of bread
    • grill on both side until the cheese is melted

    How many calories are in a chicken avocado sandwich?

    Now, it all depends on the kind of bread and cheese you use. Some have more calories than others. Anyway, my sandwich has 287 calories per portion, but it's one filling and nutritious sandwich, without any nastiness added.

    What else can you use instead of chicken and mozzarella?

    Now, let's talk cheese! I stumbled across some amazing mozzarella slices, I either was blind before that I never seen them in the shop, or they are a new thing. I loved them! They are perfect for a grilled sandwich, it melts nicely in less than a minute.

    If you don't find mozzarella slices, you can use any other cheese slices, cheddar, gouda, emmental, anything you like. Chicken can be swapped for turkey breast and cooked the same way.

    And there you have, a fantastic grilled chicken sandwich to lick you fingers clean. Great with a cuppa or a cup of coffee, and you are good to go.
