Cajun Chicken Sandwich with Creamy Avocado
I needed to use up some hamburger buns as well as an avocado. Well, I already had chicken filets ready in the freezer for a quick sandwich meal too.
So I took the really ripe avocado and mixed it up with lime juice for a spread. Boy was it a welcome addition to this sandwich.
In our venture of eating healthier I've made some things that are not keepers. This one is a keeper. I scarfed it down it was so good. Then I couldn't help but think of when it would make a reappearance on the menu.
Honestly, I think it would be way more awesome on a ciabatta rather than a hamburger bun but as I said...it's what I had and needed to use.
