Total time: 27 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each); 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; ½ teaspoon paprika; Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; 8 slices whole grain bread or 4 ciabatta rolls, sliced; 4 tablespoons mayonnaise; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 1 large ripe tomato, sliced; 1 small red onion, thinly sliced; 4 large lettuce leaves (romaine or green leaf); 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the chicken

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place chicken in a shallow dish and pour marinade over it, turning to coat. Marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
Grill the chicken

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Prepare the bread

While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the bread slices or ciabatta rolls until golden brown. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together to create a spread.
Assemble the sandwiches

Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on one side of each bread slice or on both halves of the ciabatta rolls. On the bottom slice, layer lettuce, sliced chicken, tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado if using.
Serve

Top with the remaining bread slice or ciabatta half. Cut in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately. Pair with a side of chips, French fries, or a light salad for a complete meal.
