Recipe for Chicken and Avocado Sandwich
Start preparing the chicken and avocado sandwich with the chicken. Season it with a mix of spices to your liking, I used my Homemade BBQ Rub.
Heat a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil in a pan and add the chicken breast.
Cook it on a low flame for about 15 minutes, turning it occasionally.
Once cooked, let it cool slightly and cut it into slices.
Toast the sandwich bread on the grill pan for a couple of minutes on each side.
Alternatively, you can use a toaster.
Mash half of the avocado and spread some on the slice of bread.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves well.
Add these to the sandwich as well.

Both cluster and beefsteak tomatoes are suitable.
Place a couple of slices on the sandwich.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
How long do they last?
You can store these sandwiches for a couple of days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Can I not toast the bread?
Only if you eat them immediately, otherwise the bread will tend to become too soft as it absorbs the moisture from the filling.
Can I skip the spices?
Of course, maybe you can marinate the chicken a bit in lemon juice.
