Ingredients
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloin halves
– 4 large eggs
– 4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread, toasted
– 2 ripe avocados
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Fresh herbs for garnish such as cilantro or parsley
– Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)
– Olive oil for grilling
Instructions
1. Grill the Chicken Tenderloin:
– Season the chicken tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
– Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil.
– Grill the chicken tenderloin for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
– Remove from heat and let them rest.
2. Prepare the Avocado Spread:
– In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with the lemon juice.
– Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Poach the Eggs:
– Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Optionally, add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape.
– Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon and carefully slide one egg into the center.
– Poach the egg for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
– Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg and place it on a paper towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
4. Assemble the Toast:
– Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
– Slice the grilled chicken tenderloin and layer it over the avocado spread.
– Place a poached egg on top of each slice of chicken avocado toast.
5. Serve:
– Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, or drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
– Garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
