Cilantro Lime Chicken Sandwich image

The creamy spread and yummy sliced avocado just bring this sandwich together. Originally in Taste of Home posted by Debbie Speckmeyer, but I've changed it just a bit. Marinating time is not included in the prep and cooking time.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c canola oil
1/4 c lime juice
3 1/2 tsp cumin, ground
8 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
1 c cream cheese spread
1/3 c fresh cilantro, minced
1/4 c red onion, finely chopped
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
8 hamburger buns, split (your choice)
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, lime juice and cumin. Add the chicken; seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cilantro, onion, salt, and pepper; chill until serving.
  • 3. Drain and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. If grilling is not an option, you can broil these 4 inches from the broiler until they reach 170°.
  • 4. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the buns. Layer with avocado, tomatoes, and chicken; replace the bun tops. Enjoy!
