"Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Peppers & Avocado"

We usually grill marinated chicken once a week & I always do an extra breast for my lunch the next day!

2 Whole Grain Bread
Roasted Red Pepper
¼ Hass Avocado* slightly mashed
1 Boneless, skinless chicken breast
Nayonaise or mayonnaise (I use Nayonaise because it is free from corn products & eggs)

Sliced chicken breast on an angle 1/8 thickness and set aside. Toast bread & spread with avocado. Place chicken on top, roasted peppers, Nayonaise & 2nd lice of toast. Enjoy!

* The avocado is high in fat, but most of the fat is the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind, good to help lower cholesterol. Avocado’s tastes great, but outside of an occasional guacamole dip, few of us reach for this high-fiber food for salads, spreads or as a great side dish.
You'll also get protein, a good dose of vitamins A and E, some B vitamins, lots of potassium and a dollop of copper. The rich and creamy avocado has been called the "chocolate" of fruits.
Spread ripe avocados on bread as a healthy replacement for mayonnaise when making a sandwich.
