Method
Chicken & Marinade
Prepare marinade
Finely mince the garlic. In a shallow bowl or zip-top bag combine 2 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix until combined.
Marinate chicken
Pat the 2 chicken breasts dry and, if thick, butterfly or pound to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch). Place chicken in the marinade, coating well. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Remove from fridge 15 minutes before grilling if chilled.
Grill chicken
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 400°F/200°C). Oil the grates or pan lightly. Grill chicken 5-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes.
Assembly & Toppings
Melt cheese on chicken
Place the Swiss cheese slices on the hot chicken breasts during the last 1-2 minutes of grilling (or place chicken under a broiler) to melt slightly.
Assemble sandwiches
Spread 1.5 tbs of honey mustard on the bottom bun and 1/2 tbs mayonnaise (optional) on the top bun. Place 2 lettuce leaves on the bottom bun, add the chicken with melted Swiss, top with sliced avocado (season avocado with the 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper), then add 2-3 tomato slices. Finish with the top bun.

Side - Waffle Fries
Bake or fry fries
Cook the 400 g frozen waffle fries according to package instructions. For oven: preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle or spray with the 2 tbs oil, bake 18-22 minutes turning once until crisp and golden. For frying: heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry in batches 3-4 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Season and serve
Immediately season fries with 1/2 tsp salt while hot. Serve on the side with the Chicken Avocado sandwich.
