Ingredients

• 8 slices whole-grain bread
• 2 pieces grilled chicken breast
• 1 large ripe avocado
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 cup hummus
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Toast the 8 slices of whole-grain bread until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the grilled chicken breasts thinly and set them aside.

Step 3

Halve the avocado, scoop out the flesh, and mash it in a small bowl. Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth avocado spread.

Step 4

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and the red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of hummus on one side of four slices of toast. Spread the avocado mixture on one side of the remaining four slices.

Step 6

On the hummus-coated slices, layer baby spinach leaves, sliced cucumber, and red bell pepper strips.

Step 7

Add the sliced grilled chicken on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the chicken.

Step 8

Top each sandwich with the avocado-coated slices of toast, ensuring the spreads are on the inside.

Step 9

Press down gently to secure the layers. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly to pack for a balanced meal on the go.
