Ingredients

  • 2 large slices of bread - I use my homemade sourdough!
  • Spicy mayo - I used about 2 tbsp of Primal Kitchen Spicy Mayo (super clean brand!)
  • Grilled chicken breast - I just seasoned mine with some garlic salt & pepper. Doesn't need much with everything else in this sandwich!
  • Havarti cheese - I used a Jalapeno flavored one from my local Publix. SO GOOD! I used 2 oz. approximately.
  • Thinly sliced roma tomatoes (I did 3 slices)
  • Sun dried tomatoes (I did about 1 tbsp of chopped sun dried tomatoes)
  • Pepperoncini peppers
  • Pickled onions - I made pickled red onions from scratch, 1 small handful.
  • Avocado, sliced thin. I used 1/2 an avocado in my sandwich.
  • 1 large handful of microgreens - I used the rainbow mix by Bright Fresh.
