Grilled BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Spicy Avocado Spread

The spicy avocado spread despite the title, really is not all that spicy. The spice is more like the flavors jumping around in your mouth rather than slapping you in the face. The BBQ coating the chicken helps calm the spicy flavor. To round out the meal we paired this sandwich with a broccoli and cauliflower medley. This sandwich is a great way to dress up BBQ without adding many calories.

Original Recipe from Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast page 83

1. Preheat grill

2. Coat both side of the chicken with barbecue sauce and grill until chicken is done. (We suggest pounding the chicken until it is even). Optional- Place one slice of cheddar cheese on the chicken one minute before completeness.

3. Place chicken on a white or wheat hamburger bun and top with lettuce, tomato, and spicy avocado spread.

4. Enjoy!
