Building a better sandwhich

After two weeks worth of brown rice, broccoli and curried chicken I’m making a sandwich for lunch. While there’s a time and a place for white bread and mayo, I’m taking a healthier turn today using pita, Dijon and avocado in conjunction with roasted chicken breasts and some spare veggies.

Next up … oatmeal raisin protein cupcakes and a run before dinner.

Ingredients

• Pita bread
• Roasted chicken breast
• Salt & Pepper
• Olive oil
• Avocado
• Tomato – chopped
• Spinach – shredded
• Broccoli
• Dijon mustard
• Pickles – chopped

Process

1. In a bowl, toss chicken breasts with olive oil, salt & pepper.
2. Mix avocado & mustard together in a bowl.
3. Bring oven to 350 degrees F and cook on middle rack for 25 minutes turning once (test with cooking thermometer).
4. Slather mustard & avocado mixture inside a pita cut into two halves.
5. Add broccoli, chicken, avocado, tomato, pickle and spinach.
6. Add a little grated cheese if desired.
7. Enjoy.
