Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 8 slices of whole wheat bread
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts until fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Allow to cool and then thinly slice.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Peel and pit the avocados, and mash them in a separate bowl with a fork. Add 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture to the mashed avocado, stirring until well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Toast the whole wheat bread slices to your desired level of crispness.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of the cream cheese avocado mixture on one side of each bread slice, followed by a layer of thinly sliced chicken breast. Add another slice of bread to complete the sandwich. Repeat for all four sandwiches.
  6. Slice each sandwich in half on a diagonal for an elegant presentation.
