Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, flattened to an even thickness
olive oil
1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence (or any spice you like, really)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
black pepper
For the avocado mayo -
1/2 avocado
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco (or Frank's)
salt and pepper
For the sandwich -
Steak or Hoagie rolls
Green leaf lettuce leaves
Cucumber slices
Directions:
Rinse chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of each piece of fish. Season evenly with herbs, garlic salt and pepper. Cover and place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Preheat grill to 375 degrees. Clean and oil grill grates. Place chicken over direct heat and grill 5-9 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and allow to rest. Place rolls on grill for 2-3 minutes per side to get them nice and toasted.
While the chicken is resting, make the mayo by adding the avocado to a small bowl and smashing it up with a spoon or fork. Stir in the mayo, lime juice and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To build the sandwich, slather on the avocado mayo, top with lettuce, cucumber and chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!

When I first saw that piece of chicken, and before I began reading, I did think it looked a bit forlorn. But for a sandwich it presents the opportunity for a bunch of different flavors and textures that a fatter piece might not, especially if you actually want to eat it without distorting your mouth like Jim Carrey.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking your sauce would be good on a sandwich without the chicken so I can see how thin would work.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the picture is great! I actually think I would prefer the thinner chicken in the sandwich - it'd make it easier to eat! The avocado mayo sounds like the perfect addition to this delicious sandwich.
ReplyDeleteIt's about YOU and the fabulous person you are - that's why *I* come to visit! Then it's about the food - new ideas, or merely temptation. After that, it's about the photos - they're so much harder to take than people realize. We don't have stylists and 50 sets of dishes and mood lighting and 43 tablecloths to choose from - most of the time, I have to shove books and papers off the table to plop a plate of food onto it! But I think this photo looks fabulous - beautiful color, it's completely tempting ... :)
ReplyDeleteI can do this! I have the ingredients if I use that avocado before it gets any softer. And I love the thought of avocado mayo. Sure looks good to me, Jenn!
ReplyDeleteAvocado Mayo?!? It sounds delicious. I am an avocado addict!
ReplyDeleteNow that puts Subway to shame!
