    Avocado, Tomato & Chicken Sandwich



    Makes: 1 serving, 1 sandwich each

    Serving Size: 1 sandwich

    Active Time: 5 minutes

    Total Time: 5 minutes

    Ingredients

    2 slices multigrain bread
    1/4 ripe avocado
    3 ounces cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced (see Tip)
    2 slices tomato

    Preparation

    Toast bread. Mash avocado with a fork and spread onto one piece of toast. Top with chicken, tomato and the second piece of toast.

    Tips & Notes

    Tip: If you don’t have cooked chicken, you can poach it to use in a recipe. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size. (Eight ounces raw boneless, skinless chicken breast yields about 1 cup sliced, diced or shredded cooked chicken.)
