Ingredients
2
chicken breasts, cut crosswise in half and pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1 teaspoon
kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1
small clove garlic (or 1/2 of a larger clove)
1/2 cup
fresh herbs (I used 2 tablespoons each basil, chives, cilantro, and parsley)
1
avocado, peeled and pitted
7 ounces
Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon
honey
2 teaspoons
fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons
white balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon
ground white pepper
4
hamburger buns or sandwich rolls
1 cup
fresh baby spinach leaves
Instructions
- Prepare grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Spray the chicken with nonstick spray (or brush with a neutral oil) and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper.
- Place chicken on the hot grill rack and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until chicken loses its pink color throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Remove the chicken from grill and let it stand 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the green goddess sauce: In a food processor, pulse garlic until finely chopped. Add herbs and pulse again until finely chopped.
- Add avocado, yogurt, honey, lemon juice, vinegar, ground white pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until mixture is well combined (there will be visible flecks of herbs).
- Build sandwiches using buns, spinach, chicken and Green Goddess Sauce.
