Chicken Club "Sandwich"

By:  Maria

There's nothing like a delicious Club or BLTA(avocado) sandwich.  For those of us that steer clear of refined flour products, the downside is the bread that comes with the sandwich.  No worries!

This sandwich is packed with hearty nutrients but devoid of the gut inflammatory properties associated with bread.

If you take a close look at the photo, you will see that it's not bread that is holding the sandwich together, but a delicious, nutrient-filled chicken breast!

This sandwich was so filling, I didn't eat another bite until 6 hours later!

Ingredients

1 cooked chicken breast (1/4-1/3 of the top cut off)*

1 tbsp mayo (I have also used pesto instead of mayo for added flavor!)

2 slices bacon, cooked

A handful of arugula or spinach

Half a tomato, thinly sliced

1 avocado, peeled and sliced

 

Butterfly the chicken breast (cut lengthwise through it so it can be opened up like a book). 

Spread the mayo on the inside. Add the rest of the ingredients, and "close" the chicken breast. Smile as you revel in deliciousness!

 

*You can bake a chicken breast easy in the oven: brush chicken breast with olive oil or clarified butter and bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes.  For convenience and/or quicker meals, you can purchase a cooked chicken breast in the deli section of a quality grocery store.
