Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 chicken breast (lean and tender)
  • 1 large egg

Breads

  • 2 slices of whole grain bread or 1 English muffin

Dairy

  • 1 slice cheddar or Swiss cheese

Fresh Produce

  • Handful of fresh spinach or arugula
  • Optional: slices of avocado (for variation)

Spreads & Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise or avocado spread
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika or cayenne pepper, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your choice of smoked paprika or cayenne. Cook it thoroughly in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove from the skillet and slice thinly to fit the sandwich.
  2. Cook the Egg: In the same skillet, cook the egg to your preference—fried sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled—aiming for a tender texture that complements the chicken without overpowering it.
  3. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices or English muffin until golden and crispy on the outside but still soft inside, providing a satisfying crunch and structure for the sandwich.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or avocado spread on the toasted bread. Layer fresh greens first, followed by the sliced cooked chicken, then the cheese slice, and finally the cooked egg. Top with the second piece of bread, press gently, and your sandwich is ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh chicken and eggs to maximize flavor and nutrition.
  • Do not overcook the egg; a slightly runny yolk adds moisture and richness.
  • Toast the bread just right for a balance between crunch and softness.
  • Season all components generously to ensure a flavorful sandwich.
  • Let cheese melt slightly by assembling the sandwich while ingredients are still warm for extra gooey texture.
