Chicken & Guacamole Sammies

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, 6 ounces each
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika, a palmful
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
2 ripe Hass avocados
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
1 small red onion, chopped
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 (15-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
4 red leaf lettuce leaves
4 crusty, cornmeal-topped kaiser rolls, split
Flavored specialty corn or blue corn chips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a griddle pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

    Step 2

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Combine the remaining spices in a small bowl and rub all over the chicken. Brush the griddle or skillet with a tablespoon of EVOO. Cook the chicken for 11 to 12 minutes, turning once. Remove from the pan and let cool enough to handle; slice each piece on an angle into 4 pieces.

    Step 3

    Halve, pit, and peel the avocados and dress with lime or lemon juice. Cut each half into 4 slices.

    Step 4

    In a small skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of EVOO. Add the onions, jalapeños, and garlic and sauté for a few minutes to soften. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and mix in the cilantro.

    Step 5

    Place the lettuce on the roll bottoms and top each with sliced chicken and avocado, alternating the slices. Spoon on some warm salsa and cover with a roll top. Serve with a few chips alongside.
