Equipment
Method
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, and cracked black pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill pan or grill over medium-high heat (around 200°C / 400°F). Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). Remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Toast the Bread: While the chicken is resting, toast the whole grain bread slices until golden brown and crisp in a toaster or under the grill.
- Assemble: Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. Place the toasted bread on plates, layer it with the sliced chicken, and top with sliced tomatoes and cucumber.
- Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of additional cracked black pepper and arrange arugula on the side. Add avocado and fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Chicken Toast!

Notes
Feel free to swap the whole grain bread for any bread you prefer, like sourdough or rye! If you're looking for extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. This dish is perfect for meal prep; simply grill extra chicken and toast the bread fresh right before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and reheat the chicken before assembling for the best texture. Enjoy your creative breakfast!
