  1. 1

    Toast roll

    Split the country roll and toast until lightly crisp. Set aside.

  2. 2

Grill Chicken & Assemble

    Grill chicken

    Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill chicken breast until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness.

  2. 4

    Melt cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place Jack cheese on the chicken to melt.

  3. 5

    Prepare produce

    Slice avocado, wash and dry romaine, slice tomatoes, and separate red onion into rings.

  4. 6

    Spread lemon mayo

    Spread lemon mayo on the cut sides of the toasted roll.

  5. 7

    Assemble sandwich

    Layer bottom half of roll with romaine, tomato, red onion, and avocado. Top with the cheese-topped chicken, then close with the top half.
