This recipe is inspired by the classic American chicken salad sandwich, elevated to new heights with the addition of avocado and cream cheese for an added richness.

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. 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. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 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. 4

    Toast the whole wheat bread slices to your desired level of crispness.

  5. 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. 6

    Slice each sandwich in half on a diagonal for an elegant presentation.

Chef's Notes

For the most visually appealing presentation, choose ripe but firm avocados and use freshly baked whole wheat bread.
