Ingredients

Sandwich Filling

  • 1 avocado (halved, pitted, and peeled)
  • 1/2 pound cooked chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1/2 cup mango cubes (peeled and in small cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons salsa verde (green salsa)
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper (ribs and seeds removed and finely minced)
  • 1 green onion (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

For the Sandwich

  • Mayonnaise (for bread, optional)
  • 4 slices sandwich bread (use your favorite variety)
  • Baby spinach (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Mash the Avocado: Add the halved, pitted, and peeled avocado to a bowl and mash it thoroughly until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Prepare the Salad Mixture: To the mashed avocado, add the bite-sized cooked chicken, mango cubes, salsa verde, finely minced jalapeno pepper, chopped green onion, lime juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Prepare the Bread: If using, spread mayonnaise evenly over one side of all four slices of sandwich bread. This adds moisture and flavor to the sandwich.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: On two slices of the bread, layer baby spinach to your taste on top of the mayonnaise spread. Evenly divide and spoon the chicken avocado salad mixture over the spinach. Top with the remaining two slices of bread, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwiches.
  5. Serve: Cut the sandwiches as desired and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeno according to your spice preference.
  • You can substitute sandwich bread with whole grain or gluten-free bread as desired.
  • Adding mayonnaise is optional but helps keep the bread moist and adds richness.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the bread from becoming soggy due to the avocado mixture.
