To The Kitchen!
After asking Gippity for a High-Fiber White Bread recipe, I needed something to do with it besides making avocado toast, so I asked for a sandwich.
I hoped for something more creative than “grilled chicken,” but I should have been more specific in my prompt. This has been a theme with Gippity: I ask for something and get exactly what I asked for, but not necessarily what I wanted.
I only have a few photos of the process (it’s literally just a sandwich), but here’s the mandatory picture of the cross-section.
One step I wasn’t sure about was the honey-mustard spread. I’ve always used honey mustard straight up, but Gippity suggested mixing it with mayo. To prevent the spread from being excessively cloying, I opted for a sharp honey mustard and a light mayo, which worked out great.
Grilled Chicken and Avocado Sandwich with Honey-Mustard Spread
Let's whip up a delightful sandwich using your freshly baked high-fiber white bread! How about a grilled chicken and avocado sandwich with a honey mustard spread? This sandwich is a beautiful blend of flavors and textures—crispy yet tender chicken, creamy avocado, and a tangy-sweet spread. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients
- 2 slices of a high-fiber white bread
- 1 chicken breast, about 6 ounces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Lettuce leaves (like romaine or butter lettuce)
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- Optional: slices of your favorite cheese (like Swiss or Cheddar)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and nicely charred. Let it rest for a couple of minutes, then slice it.
- Make the Honey-Mustard Spread:
- Mix honey-mustard and mayonnaise until well combined in a small bowl.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Toast the slices of your high-fiber white bread lightly. Spread the honey-mustard mixture on one side of each slice.
- On one slice of bread, layer lettuce leaves, followed by tomato slices, grilled chicken, avocado slices, and cheese if using.
- Top with the other slice of bread, honey-mustard side facing down.
- Final Touches:
- If you like your sandwich with a bit more crunch, put it in a panini press or back on the grill for a couple of minutes to warm it up and give it those excellent grill marks.
- Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
This sandwich is a wonderful combination of flavors and textures, offering the heartiness of the grilled chicken, the creaminess of avocado, the crisp freshness of lettuce and tomato, and the tangy sweetness of the honey-mustard spread. It’s a fulfilling and delicious way to enjoy your homemade high-fiber bread. Happy lunching! 🥪🥑🍗
The Verdict
Speaking of themes, every time Gippity gives me a simple, straightforward recipe, it turns out frikkin’ great. This sandwich was no exception.
The honey-mustard spread was a great idea, but I’m glad I chose a light mayo; along with the avocado, too much fat would have made the sandwich too rich.
I gave the High-Fiber White Bread a mediocre review (even though my family loved it) because it was a little too brown and heavy for “White Bread,” but it was perfect for this sandwich.
And boy, was it filling. I had to take a nap after eating it.
