Ingredients
  

  • Chicken: 1 cooked chicken breast (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie), sliced
  • Bread: 2–3 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread, toasted
  • Avocado: 1/4–1/2 ripe avocado, sliced or lightly mashed
  • Tomato: 2–3 slices, ripe and juicy
  • Lettuce: 2–3 leaves (romaine, butter, or leaf lettuce)
  • Turkey bacon (optional): 2 slices, cooked until crisp
  • Red onion: A few thin rings (optional for bite)
  • Greek yogurt: 2 tablespoons (plain, 2% or fat-free)
  • Dijon mustard: 1 teaspoon
  • Lemon juice: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Olive oil: 1 teaspoon (optional, for richness)
  • Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread: Lightly toast 2–3 slices until golden. This keeps the sandwich sturdy and adds crunch.
  2. Mix the spread: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Dijon, lemon juice, olive oil (if using), salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder.
  3. Season the chicken: Slice the cooked chicken breast thinly. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper for extra flavor.
  4. Prep the veggies: Slice the tomato and avocado. Rinse and pat dry the lettuce. Thinly slice red onion if using.
  5. Build the base: Spread the yogurt-Dijon sauce on one slice of toast. Add lettuce and tomato. Season the tomato with a tiny pinch of salt.
  6. Add the chicken: Layer on the sliced chicken. If using turkey bacon, add it now for crunch and a smoky note.
  7. Creamy layer: Add avocado slices. Press gently so they adhere to the chicken.
  8. Top and slice: Spread more sauce on the top slice of bread. Close the sandwich. If using a third slice (classic club style), place it in the middle with a light smear of sauce on both sides. Cut in half or into triangles.
  9. Serve: Enjoy right away with a side of fruit, sliced cucumbers, or a small green salad.
