Method

For the Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

For the Sandwich Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork and mix in lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the house rolls in half. On the bottom half, layer a generous amount of arugula, followed by the sliced grilled chicken. Spread the mashed avocado on the top half of the rolls and place them on top of the chicken. Press down gently, slice in half if desired, and serve.
