Ingredients

200 g cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
1 ripe avocado
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yoghurt
Salt and pepper
4 slices wholemeal or sourdough bread
Lettuce or baby spinach
Tomato slices (optional)

Method

Mash avocado with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix mayo through the chicken; season.
Spread avocado on two bread slices. Pile chicken, lettuce and tomato. Top with remaining bread.
Cut and serve.

Tip: Leftover roast chicken is perfect. Lemon on the avocado stops browning if packing ahead.

Notes

Putting it together for Chicken avocado sandwich: work clean, taste as you go, and do not rush browning or reduction steps if they appear in the method. If you are cooking for mixed diets, plate sauces and toppings separately where practical. Keep this page bookmarked if it becomes a household regular — we update wording when cooks report a confusing step. Metric consistency across Scoops & Dishes means once you trust the cups and scales here, breakfast through dessert behaves the same way.
Serving ideas without fluff: pack it for later or eat it fresh at the table. Keep accompaniments simple so the dish stays the hero — a green salad, steamed veg, rice, mash, or crusty bread depending on the style. Metric measures stay consistent across Scoops & Dishes, so once you trust the cups and scales here, the rest of the site cooks the same way.
Method rhythm: step one is “Mash avocado with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix mayo through the chicken; season.”. Do not skip resting, cooling, or draining steps if they appear later — they are usually there for texture. The finish is “Cut and serve.”. Taste before you plate; salt at the end often needs a final pinch.
Shopping and mise en place: read the full ingredient list once before you start. For Chicken avocado sandwich, cooked chicken breast and ripe avocado are the items that decide whether the dish tastes flat or properly seasoned.
