Creamy Chicken Avocado Sandwich
This fresh and creamy sandwich is the perfect way to upgrade your midday meal.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about the combination of tender chicken and buttery avocado. It is a simple lunch that feels a bit special without taking all day to put together in the kitchen.
My favorite trick for this sandwich is to mash the avocado slightly with a squeeze of lime before spreading it on the bread. It keeps the avocado from sliding around and adds a lovely bright pop of flavor to every bite.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 4 slices of your favorite bread

- Salt and black pepper to taste
👩🍳Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 2
Slice the avocado and remove the pit, then scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until it is smooth.
- 3
Toast your bread slices if you prefer a little extra crunch.
- 4
Spread the mashed avocado generously over two slices of bread.
- 5
Top the avocado with the chicken mixture, followed by the lettuce and tomato slices.

Place the remaining bread slices on top and cut the sandwiches in half to serve.
💡 Tips
These sandwiches are best enjoyed right away because the avocado can brown if left out too long. If you want to pack this for lunch, squeeze extra lime juice on the avocado to keep it green or keep the avocado in a separate container until you are ready to eat.
