Instructions

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unspread side of two slices, layer the sliced chicken, avocado mixture, tomato slices, and basil leaves (if using).

Notes

Whole-Grain Bread: Opt for whole-grain or gluten-free bread to cater to dietary preferences. Toasting the bread adds a delightful crunch.
Cooked Chicken Breast: Use sliced or shredded chicken. Rotisserie chicken is a convenient choice for quick prep.
Fresh Basil Leaves: Optional but recommended for a burst of freshness. Add just before serving to keep them vibrant.
