Instructions

1. Cook the chicken

  4. Lightly spray with oil or use a small amount of olive oil.
  5. Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden.
  6. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken after cooking.
  7. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

2. Prepare the avocado mixture

  1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
  2. Mash or dice it in a bowl.
  3. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Mix gently, keeping some texture.

3. Prepare vegetables

  • Slice tomato.
  • Slice cucumber if using.
  • Lightly season with salt and pepper if desired.

4. Assemble the stacks

You can layer on a plate or use a food ring for structure.

Suggested order:

  1. Chicken slices (base layer)
  2. Tomato slices
  3. Avocado mixture
  4. Cucumber slices (optional)
  5. Repeat layers if making taller stacks

Finish with herbs and a light sprinkle of black pepper.


WW-Friendly Tips

  • Keep avocado portion controlled (about 1/4 to 1/2 avocado per serving depending on your daily points).
  • Use spray oil instead of pouring oil to reduce points.
  • Increase chicken portion if you want more protein without adding many points.
  • Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for extra volume with minimal points.

Variations

  • Mexican style: add lime juice, cumin, and salsa.
  • Mediterranean style: add a small amount of feta cheese and olives.
  • Spicy version: add chili flakes or hot sauce to the avocado mixture.
