Grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and crispy toast topped with chili flakes and honey for a savory-sweet brunch.

# Ingredients:

→ Bread & Base

01 - 2 large slices sourdough or multigrain bread
02 - 1 ripe avocado

→ Chicken

03 - 1 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Toppings

08 - 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
09 - 2 teaspoons honey
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

→ Optional Garnish

11 - Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
02 - Brush the chicken breast with olive oil and season generously with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
03 - Grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes, then slice thinly.
04 - While the chicken cooks, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
05 - Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt, then mash until mostly smooth.
06 - Spread the smashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
07 - Arrange grilled chicken slices on top of the avocado layer.
08 - Sprinkle with chili flakes, drizzle with honey, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
09 - Serve immediately while toast is still warm.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a fancy cafe dish but costs a fraction and takes 25 minutes start to finish.
  • The honey and chili flakes create a sweet spicy contrast that makes every bite interesting.
  • You get protein, healthy fats, and carbs all in one plate, so it actually keeps you full.
  • It works for breakfast, lunch, or that weird in between meal when you want real food fast.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after grilling or all the juices will run out when you slice it, leaving the meat dry and sad.
  • Don't skip the lemon juice in the avocado; it not only adds brightness but keeps the avocado from turning brown if you have any leftovers.
  • Use a hot pan for the chicken so you get those beautiful grill marks and a slight char that adds smokiness.
03 -
  • Slice the chicken against the grain so every piece is tender and easy to bite through, not chewy.
  • Warm the honey slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds so it drizzles smoothly instead of clumping.
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe, wrap it in a paper bag with a banana overnight to speed things up.
