Ingredients
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
• 1 cup of microgreens (any variety such as arugula, radish, or sunflower)
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 4 slices of cheese (optional, cheddar or Swiss work well)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Mustard Microgreens or Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation
1. Prepare the Chicken:
• Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
• In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
2. Grill the Chicken:
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Grill the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
• Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
3. Prepare the Spread:
• In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until well combined.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
• Lightly toast the bread slices if desired.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
• Layer the sliced chicken, tomato, avocado, and cheese (if using) on two of the bread slices.
• Top with a generous handful of microgreens.
• Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches.
5. Serve:
• Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately.
Tips:
• You can add extra toppings like pickles, red onions, or bacon for additional flavor.
• Serve with a side of sweet potato fries, a fresh salad, or a cup of soup for a complete meal.
